a. of man, only in poetry, as created by ׳י Psalm 139:13; as the most sensitive and vital part, in metaphor of one wounded by ׳י s arrows Job 16:13; Lamentations 3:13.
b. of sacrificial animals, offered as choice part to׳י Leviticus 3:4,10,15; Leviticus 4:9; Leviticus 7:4; Leviticus 9:10,19; שְׁתֵּי׳הַכּ Exodus 29:13,22; Leviticus 3:4,10,15; Leviticus 4:9; Leviticus 7:4; Leviticus 8:16,25 (all P); in figure of sacrifice Edomites חֵלֶב כִּלְיוֺת אֵילִים Isaiah 34:6; transferred to wheat,חֵלֶב כִּלְיוֺת חִטָּה Deuteronomy 32:14 kidney-fat (i.e. the choicest, richest) of wheat.
2 figurative, as seat of emotion and affection Job 19:27; Proverbs 23:16; Psalm 16:7; Psalm 73:21; קָרוֺב אַתָּה בְּפִיהֶם׳וְרָחוֺק מִכּ Jeremiah 12:2 near art thou in their mouth, and far from their affections; hence, as involving character, the object of God's examination, always "" וָלֵב ׃לֵב׳כֹּחֵן כ Jeremiah 11:20 compare Psalm 7:10, ׳חֹקֵר לֵב כֹּחֵן כ Jeremiah 17:10, וָלֵב׳בֹּחֵן צַדִּיק רֹאֶה כ Jeremiah 20:12, וְלִבִּי׳צָרְו֯פָה כ Psalm 26:2.
כַּלָּה, כְּלוּלָה see below II. כלל.
כלח (√ of I. כֶּלַח, meaning dubious; Arabic 
is contract the face, look hard, stern; 
a hard year (though dearth, etc.)).
כִּלְיָה only in plur. כְּלָיוֹת const. כִּלְיוֹת f.
(1) the kidneys, reins. Exodus 29:13, 22 Exodus 29:22; Job 16:13. חֶלֶב כִּלְיוֹת אֵילִים “the fat of the kidneys of rams,” Isaiah 34:6 comp. Deuteronomy 32:14.
(2) meton, used of the inmost mind, as the seat of the desires and affections. Jeremiah 11:20, בֹּחֵן כְּלָיוֹת וָלֵב “(God) tries the reins and the heart.” Jerem. 17:10 20:12 Psalms 7:10; Job 19:27, בָּלוּ בִלְיוֹתַי “my reins (i.e. my inmost soul) have wasted away.” Psalms 73:21; Proverbs 23:16. Chald. sing. כֻּלְיָא, Arab. كُلْيَةُ, rarely and inaccurately كِلْيَةُ id. Schultens supposed the reins to be so called, because of their being double; compare כִּלְאַיִם, كِلاَُ (which is unsuitable because כלאים signifies rather things diverse in kind, and in Arabic this word is used in sing. dual and plural); Aben Ezra and Bochart considered them to be so called from the idea of desire, longing, comp. Job 19:27, but I do not know why כִּלְיָה should not be simply the fem. of the noun בְּלִי and thus signify properly instrument, vessel (Gefäß), just as physicians call the veins and arteries, vessels.
