Aaron's sons will put its blood around on the altar. 9 And from the peace gifts he will bring as a gift by fire to the Lord, its fat, the whole fat tail, taking it off close to the backbone, and the fat that covers and is upon the inside parts, 10 and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, and the part that is on the liver, which he will take away with the kidneys. 11 Then the religious leader will burn them on the altar, a food gift by fire to the Lord. 12 ‘If his gift is a goat, then he will give it to the Lord. 13 He will lay his hand on its head, and kill it in front of the meeting tent.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

If he offer a lamb for his offering,.... Which was of the flock, and must be of the first year; this is a rule laid down by Maimonides i, that where ever this word is used in the law, it signifies one of the first year:

then shall he offer it before the Lord; bring it into the court, and present it to the priest.

i Maaseh Hakorbanot, c. 1. sect. 14.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

A lamb - A sheep. The word signifies a full-grown sheep, in its prime.
