Leviticus7:4
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.
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 adde another more dark and doubtful description of it from the flanks. And the Hebrew writers, whose common practise of these things makes them the best interpreters of it, make these divers kinds or parts of fat. And so there is onely an Ellipsis of the conjunction copulative, which is Psal. 133. 3. and in many other places, as hath been already shewed.
