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 All of its fat will be offered: the fat tail; the fat that covers the insides;

4 the two kidneys and the fat around them at the loins; and the lobe on the liver, which must be removed with the kidneys.

5 The priest must burn them completely on the altar as a food gift for the LORD; it is a compensation offering.

6 Any male priest can eat it. It must be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy.

7 The compensation offering is like the purification offering—they share the same Instruction: It belongs to the priest who makes reconciliation with it.
