Leviticus 7:3 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 7:3

And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof
To the Lord, that being claimed by him, as in the peace offerings of the herd, and of the flock, whether a bullock or cow, a lamb or a goat, ( Leviticus 3:3 ) and in the sin offering of the bullock, ( Leviticus 1:8 ) :

and the rump,
or tail, which of sheep and rams, for the trespass offering, was very large and fat in those countries; (See Gill on Exodus 29:22) (See Gill on Leviticus 3:9):

and the fat that covereth the inwards;
called the "omentum".

Leviticus 7:3 In-Context

1 This is the Instruction for the compensation offering: It is most holy.
2 The compensation offering must be slaughtered at the same place where the entirely burned offering is slaughtered, and its blood must be tossed against all sides of the altar.
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.
