Footnotes

22 S. R. Driver suggests that this is the appendix or an appendix, both here and in v. 22 (Exodus, ). “The surplus, the appendage of liver, found with cow, sheep, or goat, but not with humans: Lobus caudatus” ( יֹתֶרֶת).
23 Heb “turn [them] into sweet smoke” since the word is used for burning incense. The giving of the visceral organs and the fat has received various explanations. The fat represented the best, and the best was to go to God. If the animal is a substitute, then the visceral organs represent the will of the worshiper in an act of surrender to God.
