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.

Pure and Powerful

Zig Ziglar
Too often, we value all received messages equally. God’s Word, though, is more precious and valuable than any other message sent to us. The psalmist describes God’s message as “pure words” that are like silver processed “seven times” in the furnace.
“The only ultimate disaster that can befall us is to feel ourselves at home on this earth.”— Malcolm Muggeridge

The Secret of Contentment

Zig Ziglar
Somewhere along the way, Paul learned the secret of contentment. He realized that possessions, fame, beauty, and other earthly things can be pleasant for a while, but they can never produce genuine contentment. That comes from the inside.
Here is the truth: Jesus Christ is Lord of life and Lord of all. - Jack Graham

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Jesus is the Lord of Life

Jack Graham
Jesus is the Lord of Life, and that's the topic, that's the theme of the Gospel of John, and certainly John chapter 10 which is one of the well-known passages in all of the Bible. Jesus had enemies. You know that, right? While He was loved and beloved by multitudes, many rejected Him.
All of it was done for you and me.  Considering that, it is incumbent upon us to have the Blessing which the Cross affords

The Blessing which the Cross Affords

Jimmy Swaggart
This is the first mention of the Cross, although in shadow, after the Fall. The Lord told Satan through the serpent that victory would come by the Seed of the woman. Ironically, woman has no seed, with the exception of One, Who was the Lord Jesus Christ.
That “Light” resides in Christ, for He said, “I am the Light of the world”

Light which Redeems the Soul

Jimmy Swaggart
The darkness that was here prevalent was taken away only by the Spirit of God, as He moved upon the face of the waters. As someone has well said, The Moving of the Holy Spirit is the first sign of life.
