vitals and both the little kidneys, with the fat that is about the
flanks, and the caul of the liver with the little kidneys.
3:11. And the priest shall burn them upon the altar, for the food of the
fire, and of the oblation of the Lord.
3:12. If his offering be a goat, and he offer it to the Lord:
