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.



Praise unites us also with one another. Here is “the only potential bond between the extremes of mankind: joyful preoccupation with God.” Praise the Lord!

The Praise that Unites All

Timothy Keller
Praise Those Unites. We see extremes brought together in praise: wild animals and kings, old and young. Young men and maids, old men and babes. How can humans be brought into the music? He has raised up for his people a horn, a strong deliverer.
All of nature sings God’s glory; we alone are out of tune. The question is this: How can we be brought back into the great music?

Praise Resounds Throughout Creation

Timothy Keller
The Praise Of Creation. Praise comes to God from all he has made. It begins in the highest heaven (verses 1–4). It comes from the sun and moon and stars (verse 3), from the clouds and rain (verse 4).
Christians are saved by faith, not by obeying the law, but the law shows us how to please, love, and resemble the one who saved us by grace.

True Worship that Pleases the Lord

Timothy Keller
A little boy left his toys out and went in to practice the piano, using hymns for his lesson. When his mother called him to pick up his toys, he said, “I ca n’t eat; “I’m singing praise to Jesus.” His mother responded: “There's no use singing God's praises when you're being disobedient.”
Psalm 19 tells us that, unless you repress it, you can still hear the stars singing about their maker.

From Heavenly Greatness to Inexhaustible Love

Timothy Keller
The number of stars is still uncountable by human science, yet God knows them by name (verse 4; cf. Isaiah 40:26). Job speaks of the creation, when “the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy” (Job 38:7).
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.
