both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys.
Directions are here given concerning the peace-offering, if it was a sheep or a goat. Turtle-doves or young pigeons, which might be brought for whole burnt offerings, were not allowed for peace-offerings, because they have no fat considerable enough to be burnt upon the altar; and they would be next to nothing if they were to be divided according to the law of the peace-offerings.

And the two kidneys,.... The same direction is given here as about the bullock of the peace offering; see Gill on Lev 3:4. . Leviticus 3:11 lev 3:11 lev 3:11 lev 3:11And the priest shall burn it upon the altar,....
Lev 3:6-17 The same rules apply to the peace-offerings of sheep and goats, except that, in addition to the fat portions, which were to be burned upon the altar in the case of the oxen (Lev 3:3, Lev 3:4) and goats (Lev 3:14, Lev 3:15), the fat tail of the sheep was to be consumed as well.
