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:

Leviticus 7:5 In-Context

3 And he shall offer from it all its fat. The fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails,
4 the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys, he shall remove;
5 and the priest shall burn them on the altar as an offering made by fire to the Lord. It is a trespass offering.
6 Every male among the priests may eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy.
7 The trespass offering is like the sin offering; there is one law for them both: the priest who makes atonement with it shall have it.
