Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(16) Shall burn them.--That is, the fat pieces which have thus been specified (see Leviticus 4:35), because they constitute the bread of Jehovah; they are to ascend in a sweet-smelling savour to heaven. (See Leviticus 1:9).All the fat is the Lord's.--This part of the verse is intimately connected with the following verse. As the fat belongs to the Lord, it is therefore enacted as a perpetual statute that it must never be eaten.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewThen the priestהַכֹּהֵ֖ן (hak·kō·hên)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 3548: Priestwill burnוְהִקְטִירָ֥ם (wə·hiq·ṭî·rām)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular | third person masculine pluralStrong's 6999: To smoke, turn into fragrance by firethe foodלֶ֤חֶם (le·ḥem)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3899: Food, bread, grainon the altarהַמִּזְבֵּ֑חָה (ham·miz·bê·ḥāh)Article | Noun - masculine singular | third person feminine singularStrong's 4196: An altaras an offering made by fire,אִשֶּׁה֙ (’iš·šeh)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 801: A burnt-offering, a sacrificea pleasingנִיחֹ֔חַ (nî·ḥō·aḥ)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 5207: A quieting, soothing, tranquilizingaroma.לְרֵ֣יחַ (lə·rê·aḥ)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 7381: To smell, perceive odorAllכָּל־ (kāl-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everythe fatחֵ֖לֶב (ḥê·leḇ)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 2459: Fat, richest, choice part[is] the LORD’s.לַיהוָֽה׃ (Yah·weh)Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of IsraelJump to PreviousAltar Aroma Bread Burn Burned Fat Fire Fire-Offering Food Fragrance Jehovah's LORD's Odor Odour Offer Offered Offering Perfume Pleasant Pleasing Priest Savor Savour Smell Smoke Soothing Sweet
