The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 3:3-4
The fat that covereth the inwards; "the caul above the liver, with the kidneys;" "all the fat is the Lord's" ( Leviticus 3:16 ). The sweet fat, or suet, was burned as a sweet savour to the Lord. This might be either because fat of this kind was a sign of perfection in the animal life, or because the offering in the fire would be increased by the oily matter, and would make the burnt offering more imposing. Any way the dedication to the Lord is the main idea. I. RELIGIOUS SERVICE... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 3:1-17
The peace offering (3:1-17)Among Israelites in general, the most popular of the offerings was the peace offering (GNB: fellowship offering). The characteristic feature of this offering was the feast for the worshippers that followed the sacrifice (1 Samuel 9:12-13). First, however, the animal was sacrificed with blood ritual the same as that of the burnt offering. Then the Lord’s portion, consisting of the richest and most vital parts of the animal, was burnt upon the altar, probably to... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 3:3
Leviticus 3:3. The fat— i.e. What we call the suet. REFLECTIONS.—Peace-offerings were either to express their grateful acknowledgments for mercies received, or to second their prayers for some good which was desired. Note; Christ is our Peace; and it is through him that we may make our requests with confidence of being heard, and offer our praises, assured that they will please God. The same formalities were observed as before. Two things are here to be noted. 1. The fat was to be burned upon... read more

3. he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering—The peace offering differed from the oblations formerly mentioned in this respect: while the burnt offering was wholly consumed on the altar, and the freewill offering was partly consumed and partly assigned to the priests; in this offering the fat alone was burnt; only a small part was allotted to the priests while the rest was granted to the offerer and his friends, thus forming a sacred feast of which the Lord, His priests, and people... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 3:1-17
The peace offerings, also called thank offerings or salvation offerings. The twofold object—to acknowledge salvation received, to supplicate salvation desired. Three kinds—praise offerings, vow offerings, free-will offerings. Considerable freedom permitted in them, though still restrictions observed. Male and female victims, of the herd and flock, but only those without blemish. No pigeons permitted, because a pair of pigeons insufficient for the sacrificial meal, which was so... read more
