Torah Temimah points to Toras Kohanim (Sifra) on 3:4.

Core Text of Chazal

Core Text — Toras Kohanim (Sifra) on 3:4
״יְסִירֶנָּה" — לְרַבּוֹת אֶת כׇּל הָאֵמוּרִין.

English: “He shall remove it” — to include all the emurim.

In the midrash: The singular verb is read as a ribbuy that encompasses the entire set of sacrificial portions listed in the verse.

Type of Learning

Ribbuy of all emurim — the removal instruction covers the complete set of sacrificial fats and organs.

What Is Learned

The removal instruction covers the complete set of sacrificial fats and organs. Although the verb is singular, the Sifra treats it as extending to every item enumerated in the verse — the kidneys, their fat, the flank fat, and the yoteret. The result is a unified obligation to remove and offer the entire group of emurim.
