Ps 16:7

← John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible — Leviticus

Ps 16:7

and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away; or the caul, which is a thin membrane or skin, in which the liver is enclosed, with the liver, together with the kidneys, he separated from the rest in order to burn, at least with a part of the liver; so Jarchi and Gersom interpret it, that he should take a little of the liver with the caul; and indeed some think the word rendered "caul" signifies a part of the liver, that which the Greeks call the "table", the broader part of it, like a table; and which word the Talmudists {g} retain, who speak of adbkd hyvprj, "the table of the liver"; and by which Jarchi on Ex 29:13 interprets the caul above the liver, the same as here.

{g} T. Bab. Cholin, fol. 46. 1.
