3 All its fat shall be offered: the fat tail and the fat that covers the internal organs,
4 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which is to be removed with the kidneys.
5 The priest shall burn them on the altar as a food offering presented to the LORD. It is a guilt offering.
