15 Also he shall take away the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and upon the flanks, and the caul upon the liver with the kidneys.
16 So the Priest shall burn them upon the altar, as the meat of an offering made by fire for a sweet savor: (A)all the fat is the Lord’s.
17 This shall be a perpetual ordinance for your generations, throughout all your dwellings, so that ye shall eat neither [a]fat nor (B)blood.
