Verse 9

the fat: Leviticus 3:3, Leviticus 3:4, Proverbs 23:26, Isaiah 53:10

the whole rump: To what has already been said on the tails of eastern sheep, we may add the testimony of Ludolf, who states that they are so very large, some of them weighing from twelve to fourteen pounds, "that the owners are obliged to tie a little cart behind them, whereupon they put the tail of the sheep, as well for the convenience of carriage, and to ease the poor creatures, as to preserve the wool from dirt, and the tail from being torn among the bushes and stones." The same is testified by Dr. Russell, who says, "In some other places where they feed in the fields, the shepherds are obliged to fix a piece of thin board to the under part of the tail, to prevent its being torn by bushes, thistles, etc., as it is not covered underneath with thick wool, like the upper part; and some have small wheels to facilitate the dragging of the board after them." Leviticus 7:3, Leviticus 8:25, Leviticus 9:19, Exodus 29:22

Reciprocal: Exodus 29:13 - all the fat Exodus 29:25 - offering Leviticus 3:14 - the fat that covereth Leviticus 3:16 - all the fat Leviticus 4:8 - General Leviticus 4:31 - all the fat Leviticus 6:12 - burn wood Leviticus 7:30 - own hands Leviticus 9:10 - the fat 2 Chronicles 35:12 - as it is written
