The kidneys were seen as the seat of emotions and inner thoughts, symbolizing the innermost being of a person. The fat, often associated with abundance and richness, was considered the best part of the offering and was to be given entirely to God. This reflects the principle of offering the best to God, a theme that runs throughout the Old Testament. The location "near the loins" indicates the specific area of the animal, emphasizing precision in following God's instructions for offerings.<p><b>and the lobe of the liver</b><br>The liver, particularly the lobe, was another significant part of the sacrificial animal. In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the liver was often associated with divination and was considered a vital organ. In the context of Leviticus, the inclusion of the liver in the offering underscores the completeness of the sacrifice, as it involves all significant parts of the animal. This completeness can be seen as a foreshadowing of the total sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who offered Himself wholly for the sins of humanity.<p><b>which he is to remove with the kidneys</b><br>The removal of these specific parts for the offering highlights the meticulous nature of the sacrificial process. It required careful attention to detail, reflecting the holiness and purity required in approaching God. This act of removal can be seen as a type of sanctification, setting apart what is dedicated to God. The priest's role in this process points to the mediatory work of Christ, who perfectly fulfills the role of the High Priest, offering Himself as the ultimate sacrifice.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The author of Leviticus, who received the laws from God on Mount Sinai and communicated them to the Israelites.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who were given the laws to follow as part of their covenant relationship with Him.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/p/priests.htm">Priests</a></b><br>The descendants of Aaron, responsible for performing the sacrifices and maintaining the rituals as prescribed in the Law.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/tabernacle.htm">Tabernacle</a></b><br>The portable sanctuary where the Israelites worshiped God and where the sacrifices were offered.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/p/peace_offering.htm">Peace Offering</a></b><br>A type of sacrifice described in Leviticus, symbolizing fellowship and communion with God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/understanding_the_sacrificial_system.htm">Understanding the Sacrificial System</a></b><br>The peace offering was a voluntary act of worship, symbolizing peace and fellowship with God.
