Contextual Overview

1 'Now this is the law of the guilt offering; it is most holy. 2 'In the place where they slaughter the burnt offering they are to slaughter the guilt offering, and the priest shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar. 3 'Then he shall offer from it all its fat: the fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails, 4 and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins; and he shall remove the lobe on the liver with the kidneys.5 'The priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar as an offering by fire to the LORD; it is a guilt offering. 6 'Every male among the priests may eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy. 7 'The guilt offering is like the sin offering: there is one law for them. The priest who makes atonement with it shall have it. 8 'Also the priest who presents anyone's burnt offering, that priest shall have for himself the hide of the burnt offering which he has presented. 9 'Likewise, every grain offering that is baked in the oven and everything prepared in a pan or on a griddle shall belong to the priest who presents it. 10 'Every grain offering, mixed with oil or dry, shall belong to all the sons of Aaron, to all alike.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] on them,.... Which are usually covered with fat:

which [is] by the flanks: or rather that which is "upon" them y; for this respects not the situation of the kidneys, nor the fat upon them, but the fat which is upon the flanks, as distinct from that, and where there are great collops of it, see Job 15:27:

and the caul [that is] above the liver; the lobe upon the liver, according to the Septuagint:

with the kidneys, it shall he take away; all the fat before mentioned, together with the kidneys, were to be taken away from the ram of the trespass offering, and burnt, as follows.

y אשר על הכסלים "et qui est superiliis", Tigurine version.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Leviticus 7:4. The fat that is on them — Chiefly the fat that was found in a detached state, not mixed with the muscles; such as the omentum or caul, the fat of the mesentery, the fat about the kidneys, &c. Leviticus 3:9, &c.
