Leviticus 4:31

4:31 Then he must remove all of its fat (just as fat was removed from the peace offering sacrifice) and the priest must offer it up in smoke on the altar for a soothing aroma to the Lord. So the priest will make atonement ³  on his behalf and he will be forgiven. ⁴

29:13 You are to take all the fat that covers the entrails, and the lobe ⁵  that is above the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, and burn them ⁶  on the altar.

Numbers 18:17

18:17 But you must not redeem the firstborn of a cow or a sheep or a goat; they are holy. You must splash ¹¹  their blood on the altar and burn their fat for an offering made by fire for a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

[3:5]  ¹ tn Or “on the fire – [it is] a gift of a soothing aroma to the Lord” (see Lev 1:13b, 17b, and the note on 1:9b).

[3:11]  ² tn Heb “food, a gift to the Lord.”

[4:31]  ³ sn The focus of sin offering “atonement” was purging impurities from the tabernacle (see the note on Lev 1:4).

[4:31]  ⁴ tn Heb “there shall be forgiveness to him” or “it shall be forgiven to him” (KJV similar).

[29:13]  ⁵ tn S. R. Driver suggests that this is the appendix or an appendix, both here and in v. 22 (Exodus, 320). “The surplus, the appendage of liver, found with cow, sheep, or goat, but not with humans: Lobus caudatus” (HALOT 453 s.v. יֹתֶרֶת).

[29:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “turn [them] into sweet smoke” since the word is used for burning incense.

[29:18]  ⁷ tn Heb “turn to sweet smoke.”

[29:18]  ⁸ sn According to Lev 1 the burnt offering (often called whole burnt offering, except that the skins were usually given to the priests for income) was an atoning sacrifice. By consuming the entire animal, God was indicating that he had completely accepted the worshiper, and as it was a sweet smelling fire sacrifice, he was indicating that he was pleased to accept it. By offering the entire animal, the worshiper was indicating on his part a complete surrender to God.

[29:18]  ⁹ tn The word אִשֶּׁה (’isheh) has traditionally been translated “an offering made with fire” or the like, because it appears so obviously connected with fire. But further evidence from Ugaritic suggests that it might only mean “a gift” (see Milgrom, Leviticus 1-16, 161).

[29:18]  ¹⁰ sn These sections show that the priest had to be purified or cleansed from defilement of sin and also be atoned for and accepted by the Lord through the blood of the sacrifice. The principles from these two sacrifices should be basic to anyone seeking to serve God.

[18:17]  ¹¹ tn Or “throw, toss.”
