Geneva Study Bible - Leviticus 3:9

3:9 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering {d} 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,(d) The burnt offering was completely consumed, and of the offering made by fire only the inner parts were burnt: the shoulder and breast, with the two jaws and the stomach were the priests, and the rest his that offered. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 3:1-17

THE PEACE OFFERING TAKEN FROM THE HERD (vv. 1-5) The peace offering was also a voluntary sacrifice. However, it could either be a male or female, but only an unblemished animal. Of course it speaks also of the one sacrifice of Christ, but since a female was allowed, this involves the part that believers have with Christ in the value of His sacrifice. The burnt offering speaks altogether of the value of that sacrifice to God , but the peace offering involves also the blessing that comes to... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Leviticus 3:1-17

THE MEAL AND PEACE OFFERINGS THE MEAL OFFERING (Leviticus 2:0 ) We call the second offering the “meal” instead of the meat offering, following the Revised Version. The burnt and meal offerings really belong together. They are both offerings of consecration, and when the one was presented the other followed as a kind of appendage (see Leviticus 23:12-13 ; Leviticus 23:18 ; Numbers 28:7-15 ; Judges 13:19 ; Ezra 7:17 ; etc.). We have seen that the burnt offering was entirely consumed upon... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Leviticus 3:1-17

Minor Offerings Leviticus 3:0 In addition to the great offerings of the Jewish ritual, there were certain minor offerings for which special provision was made. If we take this chapter and view it in the light of the Christian dispensation we shall see more clearly what has been gained by the Christian covenant. These offerings, in themselves considered, the Gentile mind will never be able fully to appreciate. The oblations were not intended for Gentiles, and therefore can only be understood in... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 3:9

As the tails of the sheep are very large and fat, in those eastern countries, and were considered as a very choice part of the animal, they were ordered to be sacrificed on the altar. Exodus 29:22 . read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Leviticus 3:9

Whole rump. Septuagint, "the loin without blemish." The tail of the Arabian sheep is extremely large and fat, weighing eight or ten pounds; so that it is necessary to support it on a vehicle. (Busbecq. ep. 3.) The tail was not sacrificed in any other species. (Menochius) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 3:6-17

6-17 Here is a law that they should eat neither fat nor blood. As for the fat, it means the fat of the inwards, the suet. The blood was forbidden for the same reason; because it was God's part of every sacrifice. God would not permit the blood that made atonement to be used as a common thing, Hebrews 10:29; nor will he allow us, though we have the comfort of the atonement made, to claim for ourselves any share in the honour of making it. This taught the Jews to observe distinction between... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Leviticus 3:6-11

Of the Flock v. 6. 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. The sex was immaterial, but the animal had to be perfect, as before. v. 7. If he offer a lamb for his offering, then shall he offer it before the Lord, for the purpose of securing the good pleasure of the Lord. v. 8. And he (the worshiper) shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it before the Tabernacle of the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Leviticus 3:1-17

Peace-Offerings from the Herd and the Flocks Leviticus 3:1-17 The Lord Jesus has been set forth in Leviticus 1:1-17 as the burned-offering in relation to God; and in Leviticus 2:1-16 , as the meal-offering in relation to man. We are now to regard Him as the peace-offering, to rectify the disturbed relations between God and man. It supplied food for God in the fat devoured by the sacred fire upon the altar, it fed the priests in those parts specially reserved for them, Leviticus 7:33-34 ; but... read more
