Levítico 7:23 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 7:23

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying
Putting them in mind, by repeating to them the laws concerning fat and blood, ( Leviticus 3:17 )

ye shall eat no manner of fat;
of any creature fit for food, whose flesh otherwise may be eaten, and particularly

of ox, or of sheep, or of goats:
creatures used in sacrifice; though this is not to be restrained to such of them, and the fat of them that were sacrificed, whose fat was claimed by the Lord as his, and was burnt on his altar; but this is to be understood of the fat of these creatures when killed for their common use, for the food of them and their families; the fat even of these was not to be eaten; that which was not separated from the flesh, but mixed with it, might be eaten, but not that which was separated ^F12.

Levítico 7:23 In-Context

21 E, se alguma pessoa, tendo tocado alguma coisa imunda, como imundícia de homem, ou gado imundo, ou qualquer abominação imunda, comer da carne do sacrifício da oferta pacífica, que pertence ao Senhor, essa pessoa será extirpada do seu povo.

22 Depois disse o Senhor a Moisés:

23 Fala aos filhos de Israel, dizendo: Nenhuma gordura de boi, nem de carneiro, nem de cabra comereis.

24 Todavia pode-se usar a gordura do animal que morre por si mesmo, e a gordura do que é dilacerado por feras, para qualquer outro fim; mas de maneira alguma comereis dela.

25 Pois quem quer que comer da gordura do animal, do qual se oferecer oferta queimada ao Senhor, sim, a pessoa que dela comer será extirpada do seu povo.
