Context of Leviticus 7:3
1“Now this is the law of the guilt offering; it is especially holy. 2The guilt offering is to be slaughtered at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, and the priest is to splatter its blood on all sides of the altar. The offerer is to present all the fat from it: the fat tail, the fat surrounding the entrails, 4and the two kidneys with the fat on them at the loins; he will also remove the fatty lobe of the liver with the kidneys. 5The priest will burn them on the altar as a food offering to the Lord; it is a guilt offering.
