Leviticus 7:5

5 'The priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar as an offering by fire to the LORD; it is a guilt offering.

Leviticus 7:5 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 7:5

And the priest shall burn them upon the altar
Fat taken off of the several parts before mentioned, and the kidneys: which were to be

[for] an offering made by fire unto the Lord;
and was acceptable to him, being typical of the offering of Christ, which is a sweet smelling savour, bearing the fire of divine wrath in the room and stead of his people:

it [is] the trespass [offering];
an offering for a trespass committed, to make atonement for it; and this part of it, the burning of the fat, was properly the offering to the Lord, all the rest were the priest's, as follows.

Leviticus 7:5 In-Context

3 'Then he shall offer from it all its fat: the fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails,
4 and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the lobe on the liver he shall remove with the kidneys.
5 'The priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar as an offering by fire to the LORD ; it is a guilt offering.
6 'Every male among the priests may eat of it. It shall be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy.
7 'The guilt offering is like the sin offering, there is one law for them; the priest who makes atonement with it shall have it.
