Leviticus 7:4 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 7:4

And the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] on them
Which are usually covered with fat:

which [is] by the flanks:
or rather that which is "upon" them ^F25; for this respects not the situation of the kidneys, nor the fat upon them, but the fat which is upon the flanks, as distinct from that, and where there are great collops of it, see ( Job 15:27 ) :

and the caul [that is] above the liver;
the lobe upon the liver, according to the Septuagint:

with the kidneys, it shall he take away;
all the fat before mentioned, together with the kidneys, were to be taken away from the ram of the trespass offering, and burnt, as follows.

Leviticus 7:4 In-Context

2 In the place where they kill the burnt offering they shall kill the trespass offering. And its blood he shall sprinkle all around on the altar.

3 And he shall offer from it all its fat. The fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails,

4 the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys, he shall remove;

5 and the priest shall burn them on the altar as an offering made by fire to the Lord. It is a trespass offering.
