Leviticus 4:8
6 The priest is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before the LORD, in front of the veil of the sanctuary.
7 The priest must then put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense that is before the LORD in the Tent of Meeting. And he is to pour out the rest of the bull’s blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Then he shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering—the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them,
9 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys—
10 just as the fat is removed from the ox of the peace offering. Then the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.
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.
