Leviticus 3:11 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

It is the food of the offering made by fire— "The food or bread," says Dr. Beaumont, i.e. "the flesh, which the fire on the altar was to eat up and consume." In the same idiom of speech, the gods of the heathens are said, Deuteronomy 32:38 to eat the fat and drink the wine, which was consumed upon their altars.
