Context of Leviticus 3:14

12“If his offering is a goat then he shall present it before Adonai. 13He is to lay his hand on its head and slaughter it before the Tent of Meeting. Aaron’s sons are to splash its blood around on the altar. From it he is to offer as his sacrifice an offering made by fire to Adonai, the fat that covers the innards, all the fat that is on the entrails, 15the two kidneys and the fat that is over them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, which he must remove with the kidneys. 16The kohen is to burn them on the altar. It is the food of the offering made by fire, for a soothing aroma. All fat is for Adonai.
