Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 3:5

Leviticus 3:5. Upon the burnt-sacrifice Either, 1st, Upon the remainders of it, which were yet burning; or, rather, 2d, After it: for the daily burnt- offering was first to be offered, both as more eminently respecting God’s honour, and as the most solemn and stated sacrifice, which should take place of all occasional oblations, and as a sacrifice of a higher nature, being for atonement, without which no peace could be obtained, nor peace- offering offered with acceptance. 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

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 3:3

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

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 3:4

4-11. the two kidneys . . . of the flock . . . the whole rump—There is, in Eastern countries, a species of sheep the tails of which are not less than four feet and a half in length. These tails are of a substance between fat and marrow. A sheep of this kind weighs sixty or seventy English pounds weight, of which the tail usually weighs fifteen pounds and upwards. This species is by far the most numerous in Arabia, Syria, and Palestine, and, forming probably a large portion in the flocks of the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 3:1-17

[See the Chapter Comments for Leviticus Chapter 1 for introductory information]3. The peace offering ch. 3The peace (fellowship) offering is the third sacrifice of worship. It represented the fellowship between God and man that resulted from the relationship that God had established with the redeemed individual. Peace and fellowship resulted from redemption, and this act of worship highlighted those blessings from God. This was an optional sacrifice; an Israelite could bring it if and when he... read more

John Dummelow

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 3:1-17

The Peace OfferingThis form of sacrifice takes its name from a Heb. word meaning a ’requital’ or giving of thanks, and is therefore called by some the Thank Offering. It is an animal sacrifice, the characteristic feature of which is the disposal of the carcase. The kidneys and the internal fat, and, in the case of sheep, the fat tail also, are offered to God by burning upon the altar (Leviticus 3:3-5). The choice parts, the breast and the right thigh, fall to the lot of the priests after being... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 3:3

(3) And he shall offer.—That is, he who brings the sacrifices, not the priest.The fat.—That is, the best or choicest part. Hence the expression is also used for the best produce of the ground (Genesis 45:18; Numbers 18:12). As the most valuable part of the animal, the fat belonged to God, and hence had a peculiar sanctity, for which reason it was not allowed to be eaten (Leviticus 3:17; Leviticus 7:23). read more
