In ancient times, the liver was often associated with life and vitality, reflecting its crucial role in the body's functioning. The Hebrew word for liver is "kābēd," which can also mean "heavy" or "glory," indicating the liver's significance in biblical symbolism and language.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b>Sacrificial Offerings:</b><br> The liver is frequently mentioned in the context of sacrificial offerings. In the Levitical laws, the liver was part of the specific portions of the animal that were to be offered to God. <a href="/leviticus/3-4.htm">Leviticus 3:4</a> states, "both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys." This instruction is repeated in various offerings, emphasizing the liver's importance in the sacrificial system.<br><br>2. <b>Divination Practices:</b><br> In the ancient Near East, the liver was sometimes used in divination practices, although such practices were condemned in Israelite religion. <a href="/ezekiel/21-21.htm">Ezekiel 21:21</a> describes a pagan king using liver divination: "For the king of Babylon will stop at the fork in the road, at the junction of the two roads, to seek an omen. He will cast lots with arrows; he will consult his idols; he will examine the liver." This passage highlights the contrast between pagan practices and the worship of Yahweh, who forbade such methods of seeking guidance.<br><br>3. <b>Symbol of Emotions:</b><br> The liver is also metaphorically associated with emotions and the inner self. In <a href="/lamentations/2-11.htm">Lamentations 2:11</a> , the prophet Jeremiah expresses deep sorrow: "My eyes fail from weeping, my soul is in torment. My heart is poured out on the ground because of the destruction of my people, because children and infants faint in the streets of the city." The original Hebrew text uses the word "liver" to describe the seat of emotions, indicating the depth of Jeremiah's grief.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>In the biblical worldview, the liver's role in sacrificial offerings underscores the concept of atonement and the need for purity before God. The specific mention of the liver in offerings signifies the completeness and thoroughness required in sacrifices, pointing to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the law and provided the perfect atonement for sin.<br><br>The condemnation of liver divination in Ezekiel serves as a reminder of the importance of seeking God's guidance through His revealed word and not through forbidden practices. It highlights the distinction between the holy and the profane, a recurring theme in Scripture.<br><br>The metaphorical use of the liver to express emotions reflects the biblical understanding of the human being as a unified whole, where physical and spiritual aspects are interconnected. This holistic view emphasizes the importance of purity and integrity in both body and spirit.<br><br>Overall, the liver's presence in the biblical text, whether in literal or metaphorical terms, serves to illustrate key theological themes such as sacrifice, purity, and the proper means of seeking divine guidance.<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Liver</span><p>Le 3:4.

In <a href="/ezekiel/21-21.htm">Ezek. 21:21</a> there is allusion, in the statement that the king of Babylon "looked upon the liver," to one of the most ancient of all modes of divination. The first recorded instance of divination (q.v.) is that of the teraphim of Laban. By the teraphim the LXX. and Josephus understood "the liver of goats." By the "caul above the liver," in <a href="/leviticus/4-9.htm">Leviticus 4:9</a>;<a href="/leviticus/7-4.htm"> 7:4</a>, etc., some understand the great lobe of the liver itself. <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

Others, however, interpret it as the membrane which covers the upper part of the liver, sometimes called the "lesser omenturn." Thus, the Vulgate: reticulurn iecoris. It extends from the fissures of the liver to the curve of the stomach. Still others consider it to be the "fatty mass at the opening of the liver, which reaches to the kidneys and becomes visible upon the removal of the lesser omentum or membrane" (Driver and White, Leviticus, 65).<br><br>As in the scholastic psychology of the Middle Ages, the liver played an important part in the science of Semitic peoples. It was the seat of feeling, and thus became synonymous with temper, disposition, character (compare Assyrian kabittu, "liver", "temper," "character," and Arabic kabid, vulgar kibdi). Thus, Jeremiah expresses his profound grief with the words: "My liver is poured upon the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people" (<a href="/lamentations/2-11.htm">Lamentations 2:11</a>). The liver is also considered one of the most important and vital parts of the body (compare Virgil, cerebrum, iecur domicilia vitae). A hurt in it is equivalent to death. So we find the fate of a man enticed by the flattering of a loose woman compared to that of the ox that "goeth to the slaughter.... till an arrow strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life" (<a href="/proverbs/7-22.htm">Proverbs 7:22, 23</a>; the rest of the verse is obscure as to its meaning).<br><br>In a few passages of the Old Testament, kabhedh ("liver") and kabhodh ("glory") have been confounded, and we are in uncertainty as to the right translation Several authors, to give but one example, would read kabhedh in <a href="/psalms/16-9.htm">Psalm 16:9</a>, for reasons of Hebrew poetical parallelism: "Therefore my heart is glad and my liver (English Versions of the Bible, "glory") rejoiceth." While this is quite possible, it is not easy to decide, as according to Jewish interpretation "my glory" is synonymous with "my soul," which would present as proper a parallelism.<br><br>The liver has always played an important role in heathen divination, of which we have many examples in old and modern times among the Greeks, Etrurians, Romans and now among African tribes. The prophet Ezekiel gives us a Biblical instance. The king of Babylon, who had been seeking to find out whether he should attack Jerusalem, inquired by shaking "arrows to and fro, he consulted the teraphim, he looked in the liver" (<a href="/ezekiel/21-21.htm">Ezekiel 21:21</a> (Hebrew 21:26); compare Tobit 6:4;; 8:2).<br><br>See <a href="../a/astrology.htm">ASTROLOGY, 3</a>; <a href="../d/divination.htm">DIVINATION</a>.<br><br>H.
