Context of Leviticus 7:3
1“‘This is the law of the guilt offering. It is most holy. 2In the place where they slaughter the burnt offering they must slaughter the guilt offering, and the officiating priest must splash the blood against the altar’s sides. Then the one making the offering must present all its fat: the fatty tail, the fat covering the entrails, 4the two kidneys and the fat on their sinews, and the protruding lobe on the liver (which he must remove along with the kidneys). 5Then the priest must offer them up in smoke on the altar as a gift to the Lord. It is a guilt offering.
