The kidneys were often associated with the seat of emotion and moral discernment in ancient Hebrew thought, as seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/26-2.htm">Psalm 26:2</a> and <a href="/jeremiah/17-10.htm">Jeremiah 17:10</a>. The fat, considered the best part of the animal, was reserved for God, signifying the offering of the best of oneself to the Lord. This practice underscores the importance of offering God the best and most intimate parts of one's life.<p><b>and the lobe of the liver</b><br>The liver, particularly its lobe, was another significant part of the sacrificial animal. In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the liver was often used in divination practices, but in the Israelite sacrificial system, it was dedicated to God, indicating a rejection of pagan practices and a commitment to Yahweh. The removal of the liver's lobe for sacrifice symbolizes the surrender of one's will and decision-making to God, aligning with the biblical theme of submission to divine authority.<p><b>which he is to remove with the kidneys—</b><br>The priest's role in removing these specific parts highlights the meticulous nature of the sacrificial process, emphasizing the need for precision and care in worship. This act of removal signifies the separation of the sacred from the common, a recurring theme in Leviticus. The priest's actions foreshadow the work of Christ, our High Priest, who perfectly mediates between God and humanity, offering Himself as the ultimate sacrifice. This meticulous process also points to the need for purity and holiness in approaching God, as seen throughout the Levitical laws.<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/a/aaron_and_his_sons.htm">Aaron and His Sons</a></b><br>The priests who were responsible for performing the sacrificial rituals as outlined in Leviticus.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The people of God who were given these laws to maintain holiness and atonement for sins.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/tabernacle.htm">Tabernacle</a></b><br>The place where the sacrifices were offered, representing God's dwelling among His people.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/s/sin_offering.htm">Sin Offering</a></b><br>A specific type of sacrifice described in <a href="/bsb/leviticus/4.htm">Leviticus 4</a>, intended for atonement of unintentional sins.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/understanding_the_sacrificial_system.htm">Understanding the Sacrificial System</a></b><br>The detailed instructions for sacrifices in Leviticus highlight the seriousness of sin and the need for atonement.
