Leviticus 3:11 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 3:11

And the priest shall burn it upon the altar
The fat of the tail, of the inwards, the two kidneys, and the caul of the liver:

[it is] the food of the offering made by fire unto the Lord;
or "bread"; this part of the offering that was burnt belonged to the Lord; it was his food, and what was accepted of by him, and therefore is elsewhere called the bread of God, ( Leviticus 21:8 Leviticus 21:22 ) ( Numbers 28:2 ) .

10 the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins, and the appendage of the liver, which you shall remove with the kidneys.

11 Then the priest shall turn these into smoke on the altar as a food offering by fire to the Lord.
