Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for פֶדֶר (peder) in the Strong's Greek Concordance, as the concept of sacrificial fat is primarily rooted in the Hebrew sacrificial system. However, related Greek terms may include those associated with offerings and sacrifices, such as θυσία (thysia • G2378), which means "sacrifice" or "offering."

Usage: The term פֶדֶר (peder) is used in the context of sacrificial offerings, specifically referring to the fat portions that were to be offered to God. It is mentioned in the context of the Levitical laws concerning sacrifices.

Context: פֶדֶר (peder) appears in the Hebrew Bible in the context of the sacrificial system outlined in the Torah. It specifically refers to the fat that was to be burned on the altar as part of the offerings made to God. This fat, or suet, was considered the choicest part of the animal and was reserved for God as a pleasing aroma. The burning of the fat symbolized the offering of the best portions to God, signifying devotion and reverence.

In Leviticus, the instructions for burnt offerings, peace offerings, and sin offerings include the command to burn the fat on the altar. For example, Leviticus 3:16 states, "The priest shall burn them on the altar as food, an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma. All the fat is the LORD’s." This highlights the importance of the fat in the sacrificial rituals and its symbolic significance as belonging to the LORD.

The prohibition against consuming the fat of sacrificial animals is also emphasized in the Levitical laws, underscoring its sacred status. Leviticus 7:23-25 instructs the Israelites not to eat the fat of cattle, sheep, or goats, as it is designated for sacrificial purposes.
