They also brought
This phrase indicates the continuation of a ritual process, emphasizing the meticulous nature of the sacrificial system established by God. The Hebrew root for "brought" is "qarab," which means to draw near or present. This act of bringing offerings symbolizes the Israelites' desire to draw near to God, highlighting the importance of obedience and reverence in worship.

the fat portions
In ancient Israelite culture, the fat portions were considered the best part of the animal, symbolizing richness and abundance. The Hebrew word "cheleb" refers to the choicest parts, which were reserved for God. Offering the fat portions signifies giving God the best of what one has, a principle that resonates with the call for believers to offer their best in service and devotion to God.

from the ox and the ram
The ox and the ram were significant animals in sacrificial rituals. The ox, or "par" in Hebrew, represents strength and service, while the ram, "ayil," symbolizes leadership and substitution. These animals were often used in offerings to atone for sin and to consecrate the people, pointing to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, who embodies both strength and leadership.

the fat tail
The fat tail, or "alyah" in Hebrew, was a prized part of the animal, especially in the Near Eastern context. It was considered a delicacy and a symbol of prosperity. Offering the fat tail to God underscores the principle of giving the most valued and cherished possessions to Him, reflecting a heart of gratitude and submission.

the fat covering the entrails
This phrase refers to the protective layer of fat around the internal organs, known as "peder" in Hebrew. In the sacrificial system, this fat was burned on the altar, symbolizing purification and the removal of sin. It serves as a reminder of the need for inner cleansing and the transformative power of God's grace.

the kidneys
The kidneys, or "kilyah" in Hebrew, were considered the seat of emotion and thought in ancient Hebrew culture. Offering the kidneys signifies the surrender of one's innermost being to God, a call for believers to dedicate their thoughts and emotions to Him, seeking purity and alignment with His will.

and the lobe of the liver
The liver, "kabed" in Hebrew, was associated with honor and heaviness. The lobe of the liver was part of the sacrificial offering, symbolizing the weightiness of sin and the need for atonement. This act points to the seriousness of sin and the profound need for redemption, ultimately fulfilled in Christ's sacrifice.
