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

4 And the two kidneys, and the fat on them, which is by the top of the legs, and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, he is to take away:
5 They are to be burned by the priest on the altar for an offering made by fire to the Lord: it is an offering for wrongdoing.
6 Every male among the priests may have it as food in a holy place: it is most holy.
7 As is the sin-offering, so is the offering for wrongdoing; there is one law for them: the priest who makes the offering to take away sin, he is to have it.
