Leviticus 7:3
1 “Now this is the law of the guilt offering, which is most holy:
2 The guilt offering must be slaughtered in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, and the priest shall sprinkle its blood on all sides of the altar.
And all the fat from it shall be offered: the fat tail, the fat that covers the entrails,
4 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which is to be removed with the kidneys.
5 The priest shall burn them on the altar as an offering made by fire to the LORD; it is a guilt 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.
