Commentary
5 notes on this verseAnd he shall offer of it all the fat thereof,.... To the Lord, that being claimed by him, as in the peace offerings of the herd, and of the flock, whether a bullock or cow, a lamb or a goat, Lev 3:3, &c. and in the sin offering of the bullock, Lev 1:8, and the rump, or tail, which of sheep and rams, for the trespass offering, was very large and fat in those countries; See Gill on Exo 29:22, Lev 3:9, and the fat that covereth the inwards; called the "omentum".
This site's exposition
this is the law of the trespass offering
on Leviticus 7:1-7
Chapters 4 and 5 kept the sin offering and the trespass offering apart, and verse 7 puts them under one law. The blood is sprinkled round about the altar, the fat is burnt, and every male among the priests eats the rest inside the holy place, so the offering brought for a wrong done to a neighbour is handled as most holy. The Hebrew name of this offering is asham, and Isaiah 53:10 uses that word of the Servant when it says thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin.
