Context of Leviticus 4:8

6He must put his finger in the blood. He must shake it in front of the holy curtain seven times in front of the Lord. 7He must put some of the blood on the horns of the incense altar in front of the Lord. The priest must pour the blood that he did not use onto the floor in front of the altar. That altar is near the door outside the Tent of Meeting. He must cut all the fat from inside the dead animal. 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.
