Usage: The term אַלְיָה is used in the context of sacrificial offerings, particularly in the description of the parts of the animal that are to be offered to God. It is often associated with the fat portions that are considered the best parts of the sacrificial animal. Context: • The term אַלְיָה appears in the context of the sacrificial system outlined in the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Exodus and Leviticus. The fat tail of the sheep, known as אַלְיָה, was considered a delicacy and a valuable part of the animal. In the sacrificial rituals, the fat portions, including the אַלְיָה, were to be offered on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the LORD. This practice underscored the importance of offering the best and most valuable parts of the animal to God, symbolizing the worshiper's devotion and reverence. • In Exodus 29:22 (BSB), the term is used in the context of the consecration of Aaron and his sons: "Take from the ram the fat, the fat tail, the fat that covers the entrails, the lobe of the liver, both kidneys with the fat on them, and the right thigh, since this is a ram for ordination." • Leviticus 3:9 (BSB) also mentions the fat tail in the context of peace offerings: "From the peace offering he is to bring an offering made by fire to the LORD: its fat, the entire fat tail cut off close to the backbone, the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat that is on them."
