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 "These are the instructions for the Compensation-Offering. It is most holy.
2 Slaughter the Compensation-Offering in the same place that the Whole-Burnt-Offering is slaughtered. Splash its blood against all sides of the Altar.
3 Offer up all the fat: the fat tail, the fat covering the entrails,
4 the two kidneys and the fat encasing them at the loins, and the lobe of the liver that is removed with the kidneys.
5 The priest burns them on the Altar as a gift to God. It is a Compensation-Offering.
