Levitico 3:16 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 3:16

And the priest shall burn them upon the altar
Which shows that not the fat only, but the inwards and the kidneys, were burnt also; so Maimonides says F12, that the priest salted the parts, and burned them upon the altar; and the priests might not have the breast and shoulder (which were what belonged to them) until the parts were burnt:

[it is] the food of the offering made by fire;
which the Lord ate of, or accepted of:

for a sweet savour;
as a type of the sweet smelling sacrifice of Christ, with which he is well pleased;

all the fat is the Lord's;
that is, all that was upon the parts mentioned in the several sacrifices of peace offerings, which was to be taken off and burnt: though the Jewish writers understand it of all fat in general, and so interpret the law that follows.

Levitico 3:16 In-Context

14 E della vittima offrirà, come sacrifizio mediante il fuoco all’Eterno, il grasso che copre le interiora e tutto il grasso che aderisce alle interiora,
15 i due arnioni e il grasso che v’è sopra e che copre i fianchi, e la rete del fegato, che staccherà vicino agli arnioni.
16 E il sacerdote farà fumare tutto questo sull’altare. E’ un cibo di soave odore, offerto mediante il fuoco. Tutto il grasso appartiene all’Eterno.
17 Questa è una legge perpetua, per tutte le vostre generazioni, in tutti i luoghi dove abiterete: non mangerete né grasso né sangue".
