Commentary for Menachot 51:14

<big><strong>גמ׳</strong></big> אמר רבי יהודה בריה דרבי חייא מאי טעמא דר' שמעון אמר קרא (ויקרא ז, א) קדש קדשים היא כחטאת וכאשם בא לעובדה ביד (כחטאת) עובדה בימין כחטאת בכלי עובדה בשמאל כאשם

And it was absolutely necessary for the verse to have written 'the fat' as well as "for a sweet savour'. For only 'the fat' were written, I should have said that only on account of the fat [may the blood be sprinkled] but not on account of the caul of the liver or the two kidneys; the Divine Law therefore stated 'for a sweet savour'.
