Leviticus 3:1-17
“And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offer it of the herd; whether it be a male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.” (Leviticus 3:1-2)
The word translated peace means ‘in requital’, meaning something done or given voluntarily in return or repayment for some service or benefit. The sweet savor offering as a demonstration of love was to be a male. The peace offering could be either male ofr female. Like the sweet savor offering, it was to be identified a being from a particular person by his placing his hands on its head. The blood was to be sprinkled on each side of the altar. We start with the sacrifice of a bull or cow. It still had to be the best, as a sign of respect toward God.
“And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards, And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.
And Aaron's sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, which is upon the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.” (Leviticus 3:3-5)
All the fat around the organs and in the chest cavity was to be separated out, as were the kidneys, the gall bladder, and burned on the altar. As we will see later, in chapter 7, the body of the peace offering was to be eaten and enjoyed. The part that was burned was for a sweet smell to the Lord.
“And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering unto the LORD be of the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without blemish. If he offer a lamb for his offering, then shall he offer it before the LORD. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about upon the altar.
And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat thereof, and the whole rump, it shall he take off hard by the backbone; and the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards, And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away. And the priest shall burn it upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire unto the LORD.” (Leviticus 3:6-11)
The rules for offering a sheep for a peace offering were almost the same as for a cow or bull. However they differed in that the entire rump of the animal starting where the backbone and joined the pelvis was to be burned along with the fat in the interior cavities and around the kidneys, as well as the gall bladder and kidneys.
“And if his offering be a goat, then he shall offer it before the LORD. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of it, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon the altar round about.
And he shall offer thereof his offering, even an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards, And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away. And the priest shall burn them upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire for a sweet savour: all the fat is the LORD'S.” (Leviticus 3:12-16)
If a goat was offered instead of a sheep, the rump was not burned. Everything else was done the same as for a sheep.
“It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood.” (Leviticus 3:17)
In Exodus 15:26, God spoke to Israel, “And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.”
Most pathogens are carried by the blood. By forbidding them to eat the blood, God ensured that they would not be exposed to some of the diseases that might otherwise enter the system. In addition, the blood has symbolic meaning and eating it would affect that symbolism, which will be discussed later.
The human body requires a certain amount of fat to function properly, and the colder climate one lives in, the more fat ids required. Certain fats are essential for proper brain and heart function, and can be used to provide energy for other cells. As a result the body stores fat to be used as needed.
Unfortunately, poisons and other things the body is unable to process are stored in the fat cells along with the needed fats. By avoiding animal fats, the jws would minimize their exposure to any toxins the animals might have eaten. The use of olive oil and the fat contained in the meat and other foods would provide the fats their bodies needed. His commands were for their benefit, not just to control them. We will see this repeatedly in this study. Unfortunately most people believe the Lie that Satan told Eve, that God is trying to keep them from something good.
