Leviticus 3:13

11 and the priest shall burn them on the altar as ^afood, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

12 ‘And if his ^aoffering is a goat, then he shall offer it before the Lord.

13 He shall lay his hand on its head and kill it before the tabernacle of meeting; and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar.

14 Then ^ahe shall offer from it his offering, as an offering made by fire to the Lord. The fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails,

15 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;

16 and the priest shall burn them on the altar as food, an offering made by fire for a sweet aroma; ^aall the fat is the Lord’s.

17 ‘This shall be a ^aperpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings: you shall eat neither fat nor ^bblood.’ ”

What Does Leviticus 3:13 Mean?

Leviticus 3:13

The Aaronic priests were purified for service to God through the transferal of their sins to a bull. Similarly, when an Israelite presented a peace or a sin offering, he laid his hands upon the animal being offered, identifying himself with it and transferring his guilt to the animal. Thus, the animal was set apart by God through the laying on of hands.
