Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Leviticus 7:4
And the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] on them, which [is] by the flanks, and the caul [that is] above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away:
Verse 4. The fat that is on them] Chiefly the fat that was found in a detached state, not mixed with the muscles; such as the omentum or caul, the fat of the mesentery, the fat about the kidneys, &c. See Clarke on Le 3:9, &c.

Which is by the flanks; or, and that which is, &c. So this is another fat, as may seem probable from the mention of the several parts, the
kidneys and the
flanks. For it seems preposterous after a plain and exact description of the very particular place of the fat, the kidneys, to add another more dark and doubtful description of it from the flanks. And the Hebrew writers, whose common practice of these things makes them the best interpreters of it, make these divers kinds or parts of fat. And so there is only an ellipsis of the conjunction copulative, which is Psa 133:3, and in many other places, as hath been already showed.

And the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] on them,…. Which are usually covered with fat:
which [is] by the flanks: or rather that which is “upon” them y; for this respects not the situation of the kidneys, nor the fat upon them, but the fat which is upon the flanks, as distinct from that, and where there are great collops of it, see Job 15:27:
and the caul [that is] above the liver; the lobe upon the liver, according to the Septuagint:
with the kidneys, it shall he take away; all the fat before mentioned, together with the kidneys, were to be taken away from the ram of the trespass offering, and burnt, as follows.
