6If, however, one’s peace offering to the LORD is from the flock, he must present a male or female without blemish.
7If he is presenting a lamb for his offering, he must present it before the LORD. 8He is to lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it in front of the Tent of Meeting. Then Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle its blood on all sides of the altar.
9And from the peace offering he shall bring an offering made by fire to the LORD consisting of its fat: the entire fat tail cut off close to the backbone, the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them, 10both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys. 11Then the priest is to burn them on the altar as food, an offering made by fire to the LORD.
Guzik says the fat tail is significant because it was considered a delicacy an weighed as much as 60 pounds.
The leftover meat was given to the priests for food.
I remember my mother used to take fat from meat and cube it very small and fry it up in a iron skillet until golden brown. Fat was considered a delicacy and people enjoyed eating it. But nowadays we are told fat is unhealthy for your heart and cholesterol.
How do you enjoy peace with God?
Blessings, David
