Levitico 8:16 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 8:16

And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards
Called the "omentum":

and the caul [above] the liver;
the lobe upon the liver, as the Septuagint; or "the caul" and "the liver", so says Jarchi; the liver separately, for he took a little of the liver with it, the caul:

and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned [it] upon the
altar:
the fat of these several parts, which has been often observed was done; and in imitation of which, the same has been done by the Persians and their Magi, as related by Strabo F24 and others F25; and by the Romans, to which Persius F26 refers; and these several parts are generally covered with fat in fat creatures, and especially sheep, as Aristotle F1 observes.

Levitico 8:16 In-Context

14 Appresso fece accostare il giovenco del sacrificio per lo peccato; e Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli posarono le mani in sul capo del giovenco del sacrificio per lo peccato.
15 Poi Mosè lo scannò, e ne prese del sangue, e lo mise col dito in su le corna dell’Altare, attorno attorno, e purgò l’Altare; e versò il rimanente del sangue appiè dell’Altare; e così consacrò l’Altare, per far purgamento del peccato sopra esso.
16 Appresso prese tutto il grasso ch’era sopra l’interiora, e la rete del fegato, e i due arnioni, col grasso loro; e Mosè fece bruciar quelle cose sopra l’Altare.
17 Ma bruciò col fuoco fuor del campo il giovenco, e la sua pelle, e la sua carne, e il suo sterco; come il Signore gli avea comandato.
18 Poi fece appressare il montone dell’olocausto; e Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli posarono le mani in sul capo del montone.
