§ 34 Secondly, The peculiar Parts of the Beast in this Sacrifice that were to be burned on the Altar are enumerated; namely the Suet and Fat of the inwards, the Kidneys and their fat, the fat on the Flanks, and the Caul of the Liver, or the Midriff. Hence it is laid down as a general Rule, that all the fat is the Lords, v.16. And it is called a perpetual Statute for all their Generations through all their dwellings, that they should eat no fat, v. 17. But yet this general Precept had a double limitation. First, That only that fat which was to be offered, was excepted from eating. Of the other fat diffused through the rest of the flesh, they might eat. Secondly, It was only the fat of Beasts appointed to be offered in Sacrifice that was forbidden, as it is directly expressed, Levit. 7.25. Of the fat of other clean Beasts they might eat. And this offering of the Fat, seems to denote our serving of God with the best that we have; which yet is not acceptable, but by virtue of the Blood of Christ, as the fat was to be burned, in the Burnt-offering, or Sacrifice of Atonement.
