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 ) .

10 both kidneys with the fat that is on them, near the lower back muscle, and the best part of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys.

11 Then the priest will burn these parts on the altar as food; it will be an offering made by fire to the Lord.

13 and put his hand on its head. Then he must kill it in front of the Meeting Tent, and the priests must sprinkle its blood on all sides of the altar.
