- Genesis 49:20
Asher’s food will be rich; he shall provide royal delicacies.
Commentary on Genesis 49:202 voices
His bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties. The Latin interpretation of Aser signifies riches. Who then is rich, unless where the height of riches is wisdom and knowledge of God? Who is rich but the Lord Jesus, who always abounds, and never fails? The poor came into this world, and has abounded to all, and has filled all. How great is he in riches, who by his poverty has made all rich! But he became poor for our sake, being rich with the Father.
Ambrose of Milan· On the Blessings of the Patriarchs, 397Patristic
Out of Asher his bread shall be fat,....

- Exodus 23:18
You must not offer the blood of My sacrifices with anything leavened, nor may the fat of My feast remain until morning.
Commentary on Exodus 23:182 voices
Thou shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread - The sacrifice here mentioned is undoubtedly the Passover; (see Exo 34:25); this is called by way of eminence My sacrifice, because God had instituted it for that especial purpose, the redemption of Israel from the Egyptian bondage, and because it typified The Lamb Of God, who taketh away the sin of the world. We have already seen how strict the prohibition against leaven was during this festival, and what was signified by it. See on Exodus 12 (note).
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical

Take the fat from the ram, the fat tail, the fat covering 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),
Commentary on Exodus 29:222 voices
Hence under the divine law the priest receives the shoulder for sacrifice, and this the right one and separate; to signify that his action should be not only profitable, but even singular; and that he should not merely do what is right among bad men, but transcend even the well-doers among those that are under him in the virtue of his conduct, as he surpasses them in the dignity of his order.

Rather, as food of an offering made by fire for a sweet savour, shall all the fat be for Yahweh. Our bodily taste and smell furnish figures of the satisfaction with which the Lord accepts the appointed symbols of the true worship of the heart.
