Leviticus3:16

16 And the Priest shall burn them upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire for a sweet savour. All the fat is the LORDS.

The parts mentioned, among which the tail is not one, as it was in the sheep, because that in goats is a refuse part.

This is to be limited, 1. to those beasts, which were offered or might be offered in sacrifice, as it is explained and restrained, Levit. 7. 23, 25. 2. to that kind of fat which is here above mentioned and required to be offered, which was separated, or easily separable from the flesh: for the fat which was here and there mixed with the flesh they might eat, Deut. 32. 14. Neh. 8. 10.

Marginal references: Heb. bread.
