Context of Leviticus 4:9

7Then the priest will put some of the blood on the horns of the altar for sweet-smelling incense in the Lord’s presence in the tent of meeting. He will pour the rest of the bull’s blood at the bottom of the altar for burnt offerings at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 8He will remove all of the fat from the bull that is the offering for sin, the fat that covers the internal organs, and the two kidneys with the fat on them. He will also remove the lobe of the liver and the kidneys 10the same way they were removed from the bull used for the fellowship offering. The priest will lay them on the altar for burnt offerings. 11Then he will take the entire bull (the skin, meat, head, legs, internal organs, and excrement)
