Leviticus 8:16

And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it upon the altar.

Leviticus 8:16 belongs to the record in Leviticus 8 and 9 of the consecration offerings made for Aaron and his sons before they began their priestly ministry. It records that Moses burned all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, upon the altar during that consecration. That consecration service solemnly set Aaron and his sons apart for service, with Aaron and his priestly garments being set apart for God's service.

In Leviticus 8 Moses set apart the Levitical order of priesthood to minister before the ark containing the tables of the law in the Most Holy Place of the typical sanctuary through the entire Old Testament period, carrying forward the ministration begun when Moses brought the law down from God. The verse belongs to the sanctuary's typical priestly sacrificial service, whose sacrificial details have spiritual meaning, with each sacrifice teaching something in type about the work of Jesus Christ. Those offerings and sacrifices pointed forward beyond themselves to Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, finding their fuller meaning in his sacrifice, life, and work.

The sanctuary services formed a type of Christ's priesthood and ministry in the heavenly sanctuary, with their yearly round representing his once-for-all ministry. That Levitical ministration could only exhibit guilt, condemnation, and death, offering no sacrifice that could take away sin but only pointing penitent sinners forward to the great Sacrifice to be offered for sins.
