(22) Thou shalt take of the ram the fat . . . --These were the portions commonly burnt upon the altar in the case of peace offerings. (See Leviticus 3:9-11.) By "the rump" is meant the broad fat tail which characterises Oriental sheep, and which is said to weigh from six to twenty pounds. (Fellows, Asia Minor, p. 10. Comp. Herod. iii. 113; Leo African. 9 p. 293A.) The caul above the liver.--See Note 2 on Exodus 29:13. Verse 22. - The rump. Rather, "the tail." Oriental sheep have very commonly a broad fat tail, which weighs from six to twenty pounds, and is sometimes laid upon a little cart with two wheels, which the sheep drags after it (Herod. 3:113; Leo African. 9. p. 293 A; Fellows, Asia Minor, p. 10; Gesenius ad voc. אליה). There is no doubt that a "tail" of this kind is here meant. The caul. Rather, "the membrane." See the comment on ver 13. The right shoulder. Or "leg," according to some. The difference is not important. Exodus 29:22 teaches that ordination begins with giving God the very best and the very deepest parts. Each specified piece—fat, tail, inward coverings, liver lobe, kidneys, right thigh—highlights a facet of total consecration:• The best (fat) is His. • Abundance (fat tail) is His. • Hidden motives (inner fat) are His. • Cleansing (liver lobe) is His. • Secret thoughts (kidneys) are His. • Strength and service (right thigh) are His. For ancient priests and for every believer today, true ministry starts with yielding every part of life to the LORD who provided the perfect sacrificial Lamb.
