Context of Leviticus 4:11
9He must also cut out the kidneys and the best piece of the liver. He must take them from inside the animal. 10He must burn the fat on the altar. The priest does this when the people give a friendship offering to God. He must take up the skin and all the meat. He must take the head, the legs and all the inside pieces. He must include the stomach. 12The priest must take all the pieces to a clean place outside the camp. He must put them on the ashes and he must burn them on a wood fire. 13All of the people might do bad things when they did not really want to do them. They might not obey some of the Lord's rules. They will have sinned, even if they did not know this.
