3 'Then he shall offer from it all its fat: the 2fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails,
4 and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the lobe on the liver he shall remove 3with the kidneys.
5 'The priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar as an offering by fire to the LORD; it is a guilt offering.
6 '4Every male among the priests may eat of it. It shall be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy.
