Leviticus 3:3 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 3:3

And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering,
&c.] That is, the priest, not all of it, but some of it, even what is after mentioned:

an offering made by fire unto the Lord;
for what was offered to the Lord was burnt, and is that part of it which is next mentioned in this and the following verse:

the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the
inwards;
both that which covered them, and that which stuck to them; and the fat being the best, it was the Lord's, and offered to him, and denoted Christ the fatted calf, whose sacrifice is best and most excellent; and which was typified by that which Abel offered up, and which being of the fat of the flock, and offered up by faith in Christ's sacrifice, was more excellent than Cain's, ( Genesis 4:4 ) ( Hebrews 11:4 ) .

1 “If you present an animal from the herd as a peace offering to the LORD, it may be a male or a female, but it must have no defects.

2 Lay your hand on the animal’s head, and slaughter it at the entrance of the Tabernacle. Then Aaron’s sons, the priests, will splatter its blood against all sides of the altar.

3 The priest must present part of this peace offering as a special gift to the LORD . This includes all the fat around the internal organs,

4 the two kidneys and the fat around them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver. These must be removed with the kidneys,

5 and Aaron’s sons will burn them on top of the burnt offering on the wood burning on the altar. It is a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the LORD .
