4the two kidneys with the fat on their sinews, and the protruding lobe on the liver (which he is to remove along with the kidneys). ▼▼ Heb “and the protruding lobe on the liver on the kidneys he shall remove it.” Cf. NRSV “the appendage of the liver”; NIV “the covering of the liver” (KJV “the caul above the liver”).
