Context of Leviticus 3:14

12A person may offer a goat to the Lord. 13The person must put his hand on the goat's head. Then he must kill it at the front of the Tent of Meeting. Then Aaron's sons will throw the blood onto the sides of the altar. The person must take all the fat round the inside parts. He must give it to the Lord for a burnt offering. 15He must also give the kidneys with the fat on them and the best piece of the liver. 16The priest will burn them as food on the altar. The smell of them while they are burning will give the Lord pleasure.
