“And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul that is above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away:”
Both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which is to be removed with the kidneys. The kidneys and liver lobe — the organs of the inner life with their surrounding fat — are God's portion in the guilt offering as in every major offering. The consistent specification of the kidneys and liver lobe across the fellowship, sin, and guilt offerings establishes these organs as the fixed portion belonging to God in every animal offering. Whatever the occasion, whatever the specific purpose of the sacrifice, the inner organs given to God represent the inner life surrendered to God.
