just as the fat is removed
In the Hebrew text, the word for "fat" is "חֵלֶב" (chelev), which refers to the choicest or best part of the animal. In ancient Israelite sacrificial practices, the fat was considered the richest part and was reserved for God. This act of removing the fat symbolizes offering the best to God, a principle that resonates throughout Scripture, emphasizing the importance of giving God our first and finest in all aspects of life.

from the ox of the peace offering
The "peace offering," or "שְׁלָמִים" (shelamim) in Hebrew, was a voluntary sacrifice expressing thanksgiving and fellowship with God. The ox, a valuable and significant animal, represents a substantial offering, indicating the worshiper's deep gratitude and desire for communion with God. Historically, peace offerings were communal meals, symbolizing reconciliation and shared joy between God and His people.

Then the priest shall burn them
The role of the priest, or "כֹּהֵן" (kohen), was to mediate between God and the people. The act of burning the fat on the altar signifies the transformation of the offering into a pleasing aroma to the Lord, as described in Leviticus 3:16. This burning represents purification and dedication, illustrating the priest's duty to facilitate the people's worship and maintain the sanctity of the sacrificial system.

on the altar of burnt offering
The "altar of burnt offering," or "מִזְבֵּחַ הָעֹלָה" (mizbeach ha'olah), was central to the tabernacle and later the temple, symbolizing God's presence and the place where atonement was made. The altar was a constant reminder of the need for sacrifice and the seriousness of sin. Historically, it was constructed with specific materials and dimensions, as detailed in Exodus 27:1-8, underscoring the importance of approaching God according to His prescribed way.
