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 He will offer all the fat, the fat from the tail, the fat covering the internal organs,

4 and the two kidneys with the fat on them. He will also remove the lobe of the liver along with the kidneys.

5 The priest will burn them on the altar. It is a guilt offering by fire to the LORD.

6 Any male among the priests may eat it. It will be eaten in a holy place. It is very holy.

7 "The same instructions apply to the offering for sin and the guilt offering. Both offerings belong to the priest to make peace with the LORD.
