Exodus 29:15
13 Take all the fat that covers the entrails and the lobe of the liver, and both kidneys with the fat on them, and burn them on the altar.
14 But burn the flesh of the bull and its hide and dung outside the camp; it is a sin offering.
Take one of the rams, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head.
16 You are to slaughter the ram, take its blood, and sprinkle it on all sides of the altar.
17 Cut the ram into pieces, wash the entrails and legs, and place them with its head and other pieces.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
