Levítico 3:4

4 y los dos riñones, y el sebo que está sobre ellos, y sobre los ijares, y con los riñones quitará el redaño que está sobre el hígado

Levítico 3:4 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 3:4

And the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] on them, which
is [by] the flanks
Meaning either the two kidneys which were next the flanks, or the fat upon them, which was next to them; these, and the burning of them, may signify the burning zeal and flaming love and affections of Christ for his people, which instructed him, and put him upon offering himself a sacrifice of peace offering for them, see ( Psalms 16:7 )

and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take
away;
or the caul, which is a thin membrane or skin, in which the liver is enclosed, with the liver, together with the kidneys, he separated from the rest in order to burn, at least with a part of the liver; so Jarchi and Gersom interpret it, that he should take a little of the liver with the caul; and indeed some think the word rendered "caul" signifies a part of the liver, that which the Greeks call the "table", the broader part of it, like a table; and which word the Talmudists ^F7 retain, who speak of (adbkd hyvprj) , "the table of the liver"; and by which Jarchi on ( Exodus 29:13 ) interprets the caul above the liver, the same as here.

Levítico 3:4 In-Context

2 Y pondrá su mano sobre la cabeza de su ofrenda, y la degollará a la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio; y los sacerdotes, hijos de Aarón, rociarán su sangre sobre el altar por todos sus lados

3 Luego ofrecerá del sacrificio de la paz, como ofrenda encendida al SEÑOR, el sebo que cubre los intestinos, y todo el sebo que está sobre las entrañas

4 y los dos riñones, y el sebo que está sobre ellos, y sobre los ijares, y con los riñones quitará el redaño que está sobre el hígado

5 Y los hijos de Aarón harán de ello perfume sobre el altar, con el holocausto que estará sobre la leña que está encima del fuego; y esto será ofrenda encendida de olor muy aceptable al SEÑOR

6 Mas si de ovejas fuere su ofrenda para sacrificio de paz al SEÑOR, sea macho o hembra, la ofrecerá sin tacha
