And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
He shall offer of the sacrifice. The peace offering differed from the oblations formerly mentioned in this respect, that while the burnt offering was wholly consumed on the altar, and the freewill offering was partly consumed and partly assigned to the priests, in this offering the fat alone was burnt, only a small part was allotted to the priests, while the rest was granted to the offerer and his friends-thus forming a sacred feast of which the Lord and His priests and people conjointly partook, and which was symbolical of the spiritual feast, the sacred communion, which through Christ, the great peace offering, believers enjoy (see further the notes at Leviticus 19:1-37 and Leviticus 22:1-33.)
The fat that covereth the inwards - i:e., the webwork that presents itself first to the eye on opening the belly of a cow.
The fat ... upon the inward - adhering to the intestines, but easily removable from them; or, according to some, that which was next the ventricle.
