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 The compensation offering must be slaughtered at the same place where the entirely burned offering is slaughtered, and its blood must be tossed against all sides of the altar.

3 All of its fat will be offered: the fat tail; the fat that covers the insides;

4 the two kidneys and the fat around them at the loins; and the lobe on the liver, which must be removed with the kidneys.

5 The priest must burn them completely on the altar as a food gift for the LORD; it is a compensation offering.

6 Any male priest can eat it. It must be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy.
