Context of Leviticus 7:4

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. 3Then the one making the offering must present all its fat: the fatty tail, the fat covering the entrails, the 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. 6Any male among the priests may eat it. It must be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1-7Verses 1-7 See Leviticus 5:14 note. In Leviticus 7:2 “sprinkle” should rather be cast Leviticus 1:5. All the details regarding the parts put on the altar are repeated for each kind of sacrifice, because the matter was one of paramount importance.Read the comment
