Leviticus 3:11 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 3:11

And the priest shall burn it upon the altar
The fat of the tail, of the inwards, the two kidneys, and the caul of the liver:

[it is] the food of the offering made by fire unto the Lord;
or "bread"; this part of the offering that was burnt belonged to the Lord; it was his food, and what was accepted of by him, and therefore is elsewhere called the bread of God, ( Leviticus 21:8 Leviticus 21:22 ) ( Numbers 28:2 ) .

Leviticus 3:11 In-Context

9 Then you may offer the fat from the communal sacrifice of well-being as a food gift for the LORD: the whole fat tail, which should be removed close to the tailbone; the fat that covers and surrounds the insides;
10 the two kidneys and the fat around them at the loins; and the lobe on the liver, which should be removed with the kidneys.
11 The priest will then completely burn all of this on the altar as food—as a food gift for the LORD.
12 If the offering is a goat, you must present it before the LORD.
13 You must press your hand on its head and slaughter it before the meeting tent. Aaron's sons will toss its blood against every side of the altar.
