Compare all

3 Then he shall offer from the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire to the Lord. ^aThe fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on 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 Aaron’s sons ^ashall burn it on the altar upon the ^bburnt sacrifice, which is on the wood that is on the fire, as an ^coffering made by fire, a ^dsweet aroma to the Lord.

6 ‘If his offering as a sacrifice of a peace offering to the Lord is of the flock, whether male or female, ^ahe shall offer it without blemish.

7 If he offers a ^alamb as his offering, then he shall ^boffer it ^cbefore the Lord.

Leviticus 3:5

Aaron' s sons shall burn it - As the fat was deemed the most valuable part of the animal, it was offered in preference to all other parts; and the heathens probably borrowed this custom from the Jews, for they burnt the omentum or caul in honor of their gods.
