Meaning of THICKNESS

Forming the richest part of the victim's body, it had to be offered to God above all else: “meal is an offering that is burned for a sweet aroma to Jehovah; all the fat is from the Lord” (Lev. 3:16).



Forming the richest part of the victim's body, it had to be offered to God above all else: “meal is an offering that is burned for a sweet aroma to Jehovah; all the fat is from the Lord” (Lev. 3:16).

Abel offered to God the fat of the firstborn of his sheep (Gen. 4:4; cp. Num. 18:17).

By the Mosaic law, all the fat of sacrificed animals belongs to Jehovah. There is an express prohibition on eating it (Lev. 3:3, 9, 17; 7:3, 23, 25), as there is with blood (although the prohibition on eating fat is limited to the Mosaic ceremonial law; Not so with the eating of blood, which extends to all humanity, and which has not ceased to be valid, Gen. 9:3, 4; cp. 15:20, 28-29).

Burned on the altar, the fat was a sweet-smelling sacrifice to Jehovah (Ex. 29:13, 22; Lev. 4:8-10, 31). Evidently, on the occasion of the settlement in Canaan and due to the distance that separated most of the Israelites from the central sanctuary, the prescription of burning fat was abolished when it came to animals dedicated solely to consumption as food (Deut. 12: 15 , 16, 21-24).

In Isaiah 1:11 it is translated "fat." In the Neh passage. 8:10, where it is commanded: "Go, eat fat, drink sweet wine," the term translated "fat" is not "cheleb," as in the other passages, but "mashmannim," lit., oily substances, and appears only in this passage in the entire OT. It is evident that it does not refer to animal fat.

Apparently it refers to delicious foods.
Fatness, in typology, represents the internal energy of the Lord Jesus in his offering of Himself to God.



This Christmas season, let’s remember to thank Him for His most precious gift to us: Himself.

The Gift of Himself

David Jeremiah
Long ago, there ruled a wise and good king in Persia who loved his people and often dressed in the clothes of a working man or a beggar so he could visit the poor and learn about their hardships.
Father, as we honor the birth of your Son, let us think on mercy, healing, and reconciliation. Amen.

Healing Time

J. Stephen Lang
1868: On this date a political leader who grew up poor, had no formal education and was illiterate until his wife taught him to read and write, issued Proclamation 179 “granting full pardon and amnesty for the offense of treason against the United States during the late Civil War.”
Christmas means you have an eternal home waiting for you. That should make more than the angels sing!

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

A Personal Promise

Charles Stanley
Jesus came to earth with the view of offering you salvation. He wanted you to have a restored relationship with the Father, a relationship that was so close, so intimate, that you would have your special place in the Father’s house (John 14:1–4).
The only people in Israel who did recognize Christ at His birth were humble, unremarkable people.

The Unexpected Savior

John MacArthur
Scripture records that when John the Baptist began his ministry, “The people were in expectation, and all reasoned in their hearts about John, whether he was the Christ or not” (Luke 3:15).
In the incarnation, God spanned the vast chasm of fear that had distanced him from his human creation

Reflections on the Incarnation and Freedom of God

Philip Yancey
Think of the condescension involved: the incarnation, which sliced history into two parts had more animal than human witnesses. Think, too, of the risk. In the incarnation, God spanned the vast chasm of fear that had distanced him from his human creation.
