Vayikra \/ Leviticus 7:1 ‘Now this is the law of the guilt Vayikra \/ Leviticus 7:1 ‘Now this is the law of the guilt
\noffering; it is most holy. (NASB)<\/em><\/font> In the Torah, the five major korbanot
\n(offerings) are described as being “most holy” as we see here in
\nVayikra \/ Leviticus 7:1<\/em><\/font> and the detailing of the guilt offering.
\nThere are two major components of the guilt offering, (i) slaying of the animal taking its
\nblood and sprinkling it upon the altar (7:2<\/em><\/font>)
\nand (ii) offering all its fat upon the altar, including the fat on the tail, the fat that
\ncovers the entrails (7:3<\/em><\/font>) and the fat that is
\nupon the kidneys and the liver. It is interesting that in Hebrew the word for “fat”
\nis khelev<\/strong> meaning “fat, grease, fatness” whereas the Hebrew bible
\nuses kh-l-v “khelev” meaning “ tallow, fat, lard;” in addition to this,
\nthe Hebrew root of khelev also means “milk.” What is the significance of the
\ncommandment to offer the fat upon the altar? Why is the Hebrew word khelev used for “fat”
\ncommanded to be offered upon the altar above the other types of meat in the body? Could
\nit be that “fat” has a certain spiritual significance that is important for our lives?
