Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] on them, which is [by] the flanks,.... Meaning either the two kidneys which were next the flanks, or the fat upon them, which was next to them; these, and the burning of them, may signify the burning zeal and flaming love and affections of Christ for his people, which instructed him, and put him upon offering himself a sacrifice of peace offering for them, see
Psalms 16:7
and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away; or the caul, which is a thin membrane or skin, in which the liver is enclosed, with the liver, together with the kidneys, he separated from the rest in order to burn, at least with a part of the liver; so Jarchi and Gersom interpret it, that he should take a little of the liver with the caul; and indeed some think the word rendered "caul" signifies a part of the liver, that which the Greeks call the "table", the broader part of it, like a table; and which word the Talmudists g retain, who speak of טרפשיה דכבדא, "the table of the liver"; and by which Jarchi on Exodus 29:13 interprets the caul above the liver, the same as here.
g T. Bab. Cholin, fol. 46. 1.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The caul above the liver - Probably the membrane covering the upper part of the liver.
