Leviticus Chapter 1 Star Chart: Clockwise from when an Israelite "shall put his (Castor) hand upon the (lunar) head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him" (1:4) till "he shall (Perseus) kill the (Taurus) bullock before the (Shekinah Glory) Lord" (1:5) is 300° seconds and then "the priests, Aaron's (Gemini) sons, shall bring the (red radius) blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the (solar) (red radius) altar that is by the door of the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation" (1:5) which would take 60° seconds more. Then "he shall (Perseus) flay the burnt offering, and (red radius) cut it into his (lunar) pieces" (1:6) which takes 360° which probably represents one hour. Then "the (Gemini) sons of (Hercules) Aaron the priest shall put (solar) fire upon the (red radius) altar, and lay the (red radius) wood in order upon the (solar) fire" (1:7) taking 150° seconds more. Etcetera. |

A Male Without Blemish Killed
To Make Atonement For Israelites
1:1 And the (Shekinah Glory) Lord (red radius) called unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, and spake unto him out of the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
2 Speak unto the (Gemini) children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an (lunar) offering unto the Lord, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the (Taurus) herd, and of the (Aries) flock..
3 If his offering be a (solar) burnt sacrifice of the (Taurus) herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord.
4 And he shall put his (Castor) hand upon the (lunar) head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
5 And he shall (Perseus) kill the (Taurus) bullock before the (Shekinah Glory) Lord: and the priests, Aaron's (Gemini) sons, shall bring the (red radius) blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the (solar) (red radius) altar that is by the door of the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation.
6 And he shall (Perseus) flay the burnt offering, and (Perseus) (red radius) cut it into his (lunar) pieces.
7 And the (Gemini) sons of (Hercules) Aaron the priest shall put (solar) fire upon the (red radius) altar, and lay the (red radius) wood in order upon the (solar) fire:
8 And the (Gemini) priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the (lunar) head, and the (lunar white) fat, in order upon the (red radius) wood that is on the (solar) fire which is upon the (red radius) altar:
9 But his inwards and his (red radius) legs shall he wash in (lunar) water: and the priest shall (solar) burn all on the (red radius) altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet (red radius) savour unto the Lord.
10 And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the (Aries) sheep, or of the (Taurus) goats, for a (solar) burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.
11 And he shall (Perseus) (red radius) kill it on the side of the altar northward before the (Shekinah) Lord: and the priests, Aaron's (Gemini) sons, shall sprinkle his (red radius) blood round about upon the (solar) (red radius) altar.
12 And he shall (Perseus) cut it into his (red radius) pieces, with his (lunar) head and his (lunar white) fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the (red radius) wood that is on the (solar) fire which is upon the (red radius) altar:
13 But he shall wash the inwards and the (Aries) legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and (solar) burn it upon the (red radius) altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet (red radius) savour unto the Lord.
14 And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the Lord be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of (lunar white) turtledoves, or of young (lunar white) pigeons.
15 And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his (lunar) head, and (solar) burn it on the altar; and the (red radius) blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the (red radius) altar:
16 And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
17 And he shall (red radius) cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall (solar) burn it upon the (red radius) altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet (red radius) savour unto the (Shekinah) Lord.
Fine Flour + Frankincense + Oil + Salt =
A
Meal Offering Without Leaven
2:2 And when any will offer a meat (meal) offering unto the (Shekinah) Lord, his offering shall be of (lunar white) fine flour; and he shall (red radius) pour (solar golden) oil upon it, and put (red radius) (solar golden) frankincense thereon:
2 And he shall bring it to (Hercules) Aaron's (Gemini) sons the priests: and he (Castor) shall take thereout his handful of the (lunar white) flour thereof, and of the (solar golden) oil thereof, with all the (solar golden) frankincense thereof; and the priest shall (solar) burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by (solar) fire, of a (red radius) sweet savour unto the (Shekinah) Lord:
3 And the remnant of the meat (meal) offering shall be (Hercules) Aaron's and his (Gemini) sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the (Shekinah) Lord made by (solar) fire.
4 And if thou bring an oblation of a meat (meal) offering baken in the (solar) oven, it shall be (lunar) unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with (solar golden) oil, or (lunar) unleavened wafers anointed with (solar golden) oil.
5 And if thy oblation be a meat (meal) offering baken in a pan, it shall be of (lunar white) fine flour unleavened, mingled with (solar golden) oil.
6 Thou shalt part it in (lunar) pieces, and pour (solar golden) oil thereon: it is a meat (meal) offering.
7 And if thy oblation be a meat (meal) offering baken in the fryingpan, it shall be made of (lunar) fine flour with (solar golden) oil.
8 And thou shalt bring the meat (meal) offering that is made of these things unto the Lord: and when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the (solar) altar.
9 And the priest shall (Castor) take from the meat (meal) offering a memorial thereof, and shall (solar) burn it upon the altar: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the (Shekinah) Lord.
10 And that which is left of the meat (meal) offering shall be (Hercules) Aaron's and his (Gemini) sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the (Shekinah) Lord made by (solar) fire.
11 No meat (meal) offering, which ye shall bring unto the Lord, shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no (lunar white) leaven, nor any (solar golden) honey, in any offering of the (Shekinah) Lord made by (solar) fire.
12 As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto the (Shekinah) Lord: but they shall not be (solar) burnt on the altar for a sweet savour.
13 And every oblation of thy meat (meal) offering shalt thou season with (lunar white) salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat (meal) offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer (lunar white) salt.
14 And if thou offer a meat (meal) offering of thy firstfruits unto the Lord, thou shalt offer for the meat (meal) offering of thy firstfruits green ears of corn (grain) dried by the fire, even corn (grain) beaten out of full ears.
15 And thou shalt put (solar golden) oil upon it, and lay (solar golden) frankincense thereon: it is a meat (meal) offering.
16 And the priest shall (solar) burn the memorial of it, part of the beaten corn (grain) thereof, and part of the (solar golden) oil thereof, with all the (solar golden) frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by (solar) fire unto the (Shekinah) Lord.
An Offering That Makes PEACE Between God and Sinner
3:1 And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offer it of the (Taurus) herd; whether it be a male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the (Shekinah) Lord.
2 And he shall lay his (Castor) hand upon the head of his offering, and (Perseus) (red radius cut) kill it at the (red radius tent) door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons the (Gemini) priests shall sprinkle the (red radius) blood upon the (solar) altar round about.
3 And he shall offer of the (Taurus) sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by (solar) fire unto the Lord; the (lunar white) fat that covereth the inwards, and all the (lunar white) fat that is upon the inwards,
4 And the two (lunar) kidneys, and the (lunar white) fat that is on them, which is by the (red radius) flanks, and the (red radius membrane) caul above the (solar) liver, with the (lunar) kidneys, it shall he (Ophiuchus) take away.
By ‘caul’ is here meant the membrane known as the small omentum, which covers the liver, the reticulum jecoris of Vulg. Jerome probably obtained the meaning from his Hebrew teachers. Mediaeval Jewish commentators interpret in the same way, or, as A.V. mg. renders, ‘midriff.’
Or the caul, which is a thin membrane or skin, in which the liver is enclosed, with the liver, together with the kidneys, he separated from the rest in order to burn, at least with a part of the liver; so Jarchi and Gersom interpret it, that he should take a little of the liver with the caul; and indeed some think the word rendered "caul" signifies a part of the liver, that which the Greeks call the "table", the broader part of it, like a table; and which word the Talmudists (T. Bab. Cholin, fol. 46. 1) retain, who speak of , "the table of the liver"; and by which Jarchi on Exodus 29:13 interprets the caul above the liver, the same as here.
5 And Aaron's (Gemini) sons shall (solar) burn it on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, which is upon the (red radius) wood that is on the (solar) fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet (red radius) savour unto the (Shekinah) Lord.
6 And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering unto the Lord be of the (Aries) flock; male or female, he shall offer it without blemish.
7 If he offer a lamb (Aries) for his offering, then shall he offer it before the (Shekinah) Lord.
8 And he shall lay his (Castor) hand upon the (lunar white) head of his offering, and (Perseus) (red radius) kill it before the (red radius tent) tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's (Gemini) sons shall sprinkle the (red radius) blood thereof round about upon the (solar) altar.
9 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by (solar) fire unto the (Shekinah) Lord; the (lunar white) fat thereof, and the whole rump, it shall he take off hard by the (Milky Way) backbone; and the (lunar white) fat that covereth the inwards, and all the (lunar white) fat that is upon the inwards,
The broad part of the tail is an excresence of fat, from which the true tail hangs down (Robinson, Pal. ii. 166). "Near the rump-bone shall he (the offerer) take it (the fat tail) away," i.e., separate it from the body.
10 And the two (lunar) kidneys, and the (lunar white) fat that is upon them, which is by the (red radius) flanks, and the (red radius membrane) caul above the (solar) liver, with the (lunar) kidneys, it shall he take away.
11 And the priest shall (solar) burn it upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by (solar) fire unto the (Shekinah) Lord.
12 And if his offering be a (Taurus) goat, then he shall offer it before the (Shekinah) Lord.
13 And he shall lay his (Castor) hand upon the (lunar white) head of it, and (Perseus) (red radius cut) kill it before the (red radius tent) tabernacle of the congregation: and the sons of (Gemini) Aaron shall sprinkle the (red radius) blood thereof upon the (solar) altar round about.
14 And he shall offer thereof his offering, even an offering made by (solar) fire unto the (Shekinah) Lord; the (lunar white) fat that covereth the inwards, and all the (lunar white) fat that is upon the inwards,
15 And the two (lunar) kidneys, and the (lunar white) fat that is upon them, which is by the (red radius) flanks, and the (red radius membrane) caul above the (solar) liver, with the (lunar) kidneys, it shall he take away.
16 And the priest shall (solar) burn them upon the (solar) altar: it is the food of the offering made by (solar) fire for a sweet (red radius) savour: all the (lunar white) fat is the (Shekinah) Lord's.
17 It shall be a perpetual statute for your (Gemini) generations throughout all your (red radius) dwellings, that ye eat neither (lunar white) fat nor (red radius) blood.
Why Is Blood Forbidden?
The prohibition on BLOOD is also found in Leviticus 3:17 where it is called a "perpetual (Heb. "olam") statute." (See also Lev. 17:10-13 & 1 Sam. 14:32-33) Leviticus 7:26-27 explains that this is a prohibition on "any manner of BLOOD" of "fowl" or "beast." The implication is that BLOOD of fish and grasshoppers is not prohibited.
But why avoid BLOOD at all? Deuteronomy 12:25 answers, "Thou shalt not eat it, that IT MAY GO WELL WITH THEE, AND WITH THY CHILDREN AFTER THEE, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the Eternal." In order to better understand why eating BLOOD causes things to not go well, realize that one of the functions of BLOOD is to transport BODILY WASTES and POISONS to excretory ducts in the body. Another well known medical fact is that INFECTIOUS DISEASES can be TRANSMITTED to man by means of ingesting blood of diseased animals (e.g. tuberculosis)! In other words, BLOOD contains a concentrated amount of disease, wastes and poisons! The main reason for avoiding an animal which dies "of itself" (Lev.17:15) is because the BLOOD wasn't DRAINED OUT of the animal (v.13). Of course, another reason is that it may have died from a disease. Animals "torn with beasts" (v.15) should also be avoided because the throat wasn't cut to allow the BLOOD to DRAIN. In the U.K. a practice is to stun animals with electric shock before slaughter (p.92, The Bible: Medicine & Myth by Davies). This procedure also prevents the BLOOD from DRAINING. Stunning with anesthesia is not acceptable either. Ezekiel condemned those who "eat with the BLOOD" (Ez.33:25).
John S. Fox, in his book Today, Tomorrow and the Great Beyond, pages 353 to 354, says:
The harmful presence of blood in killed meat has of recent years been realized fully by modern scientists. It has been found that in meat insufficiently bled, PUTREFACTION SETS IN RAPIDLY, even though frozen; whereas meat which has been adequately bled will keep for long periods.... Science also shows that blood congeals in the flesh to such an extent after death that no amount of boiling can properly remove it.
A person should avoid "BLOOD PUDDING" (also called "BLOOD SAUSAGE") which is made from swine's blood and suet and sold in Germany and other nations. BLOOD SPOTS IN EGGS which have been fertilized should be removed before the eggs are eaten. Also a person should be careful to salt or roast even DRAINED meats to ensure that the BLOOD is extracted. There is even a spiritual danger in DRINKING BLOOD since credible sources couple this rite to the reception of demonic forces. The Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics, volume 2, page 716, mentions that "when the fresh blood of the victim is drunk ... The result is frequently seen in usual phenomena of POSSESSION."
This LAW forbidding BLOOD existed at least as early as the time of Noah (Gen.9:4), long before the Old Covenant was ratified. Blood hasn't changed its chemical composition or function at any time, so why should anyone think this prohibition was repealed in the New Testament era?
Why Is Fat Forbidden?
We already mentioned Leviticus 3:17 in regard to BLOOD, but the full verse states, "It shall be a PERPETUAL STATUTE (Heb."olam chuqqah") for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither FAT nor BLOOD." Therefore we know that Abraham also avoided FAT and BLOOD since "Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, MY STATUTES (Heb. "chuqqah"), and my laws" (Gen.26:5). Even before Abraham, Genesis 4:4 states, "And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock AND OF THE FAT THEREOF. And the Eternal had respect unto Abel and to his offering." Now if Abel used FAT as an offering in Genesis, the same as we find in Leviticus 3:16 where "ALL the FAT is the Eternal's" and was to be burned upon the altar, then Abel would have had NONE left to eat. He would have BURNED IT ALL! So Abel must have avoided FAT too! God is consistent (Mal.3:6; Heb.13:8) and certainly FAT HASN'T CHANGED its chemical composition from one "dispensation" to another. These dietary statutes existed from the beginning and did not originate later with Moses or the Old Covenant!
Leviticus 7:23-24 says, "Ye shall eat no manner of FAT, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat. And the FAT of the beast that dieth of itself, and the FAT of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use (Ivory soap is made from "beef and/or pork fat"); but ye shall in no wise eat of it." Leviticus 3:8-9 clearly shows that internal FATS of animals are included in this prohibition also.
Quoting from Prevention magazine, February 1980, page 134, we read, "In the case of heart disease, blame does not fall equally on all fats. Chemically, the fats in food come in several varieties. SATURATED FATS ... are most commonly found in meats. POLYUNSATURATED FATS ... are found more abundantly in vegetables, and in fish and fowl. A large body of research indicates that SATURATED FATS are the ones to watch, in keeping guard against heart disease. Where the diet is rich in these ANIMAL FATS, heart disease is generally a problem." Saturated fats raises the level of cholesterol in your blood. High levels of LDL cholesterol in your blood increase your risk of heart disease and stroke. Decades of sound science has proven it can raise your “bad” cholesterol and put you at higher risk for heart disease.
Isn't it proof of inspiration when the Bible says nothing forbidding FAT of fish or fowl, yet specifically enumerates the ox, sheep and goat FAT as forbidden? This is the SCIENTIFIC DIVISION between SATURATED and POLYUNSATURATED FATS! Incidentally, Nehemiah's command to "eat the FAT" (Neh.8:10) refers to the "fatted calf" (using "FAT" as an adjective) rather than the white, greasy trim on meat (using "FAT" as a noun). There is no contradiction!
Eating animal FAT (SATURATED FAT) causes a buildup of cholesterol in human arteries and veins. This in turn causes atherosclerosis. But vegetable oils (POLYUNSATURATED FATS) significantly reduce cholesterol (Prevention, Nov. 1982, p.79). But make no mistake! These vegetable oils are UNHYDROGENATED or only LIGHTLY HYDROGENATED! HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OILS are just as bad as SATURATED ANIMAL FATS (Hydrogenation, America's Deadliest Killer, by John H. Tobe, 1962)! Excess "ANIMAL FAT" has also been linked to Pancreatic and Colorectal Cancers (pp.224 & 228 of Diseases, Copyright 1983, 1981 by Springhouse Corp.). Animal poisons and toxins are stored and concentrated in the FAT!
Consumers should take warning and avoid LARD, SHORTENING, SUET, GREASE, HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OILS, MARGARINE/OLEOMARGARINE, GLYCERIN/GLYCEROL, LECITHIN/4-MONO AMINO PHOSPHATIDE, MONOSODIUM PHOSPHATE, OLEIC ACID, POLY GLYCEROL ESTERS, ADIPOSE ACID and even EMULSIFIERS or MONO, DI and TRIGLYCERIDES which can be made from either vegetable or animals fats! Furthermore, GROUND BEEF and HAMBURGERS should be avoided not only because of their fat content, but because of possible PORK contamination due to an unsterilized meat grinder! MEXICAN and LATEINO foods like the BURRITO are notorious for their high FAT content! This is why people get stomach aches after eating them.
EGG YOLKS (Luke 11:12), WHOLE MILK (Deut.32:14; Pr.27:27), BUTTER (Deut.32:14; Pr.30:33), CHEESE (1 Sam.17:18; 2 Sam.17:29), NUTS (Gen.43:11), and AVOCADO are categorized as SATURATED FAT but the Bible allows all these foods. Why? Are there two different kinds of saturated fat? Yes, the Bible is trustworthy. These saturated fats are all WATER-SOLUABLE whereas the ANIMAL FATS are NOT!
A question is often asked, along these lines, whether internal organs such as LIVER and KIDNEYS are permitted as food. The Bible is silent on this issue, but since "the kidneys" and the "caul above the liver" (the lobe or flap of the liver according to Strong's Lexicon, number 3508) of clean animals were treated the same way as the FAT (Ex.29:13 & Lev. 3:15-16; 4:9; 8:16), it stands to reason that they are prohibited food items. Just because an organ comes from a clean animal doesn't mean the organ itself is clean. After all, BLOOD and FAT from any source are unclean. Some substances are inherently poisonous. Interestingly, both the LIVER and the KIDNEYS filter BLOOD! The KIDNEYS remove metabolic wastes from the BLOOD and make URINE! The LIVER manufactures BLOOD and stores FAT! These organs function as "scavengers." On page 21 of Edible and Hazardous Marine Life, we read, "for a variety of reasons, the LIVER, GONADS, BRAIN and associated VISCERAL ORGANS may be poisonous in otherwise edible species. Therefore, clean unfamiliar fish carefully to prevent any possible contamination of the edible fish with visceral toxins." From the book Dangerous Marine Animals by Bruce W. Halstead M.D., copyright 1980, we read on page 170 that "The viscera -- LIVER and INTESTINES -- of tropical marine fishes should never be eaten." Although COD LIVER OIL is considered a health food by many, it is possible to overdose on vitamin A (retinol) and get mercury poisoning from consuming it.
SIN Offering: Sins of Ignorance Will Be Forgiven
When a Bullock Without Blemish is Sacrificed
4:1 And the (Shekinah) Lord spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the (Gemini) children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:
3 If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the (Gemini) people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young (Taurus) bullock without blemish unto the Lord for a sin offering.
4 And he shall bring the (Taurus) bullock unto the door of the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation before the (Shekinah) Lord; and shall lay his (Castor) hand upon the (Taurus) bullock's head, and (Perseus) (red radius) kill the (Taurus) bullock before the Lord.
5 And the (Castor) priest that is anointed shall take of the (Taurus) bullock's (red radius) blood, and bring it to the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation:
6 And the (Castor) priest shall dip his finger in the (red radius) blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the (Shekinah) Lord, before the vail of the sanctuary.
7 And the (Castor) priest shall put some of the (red radius) blood upon the (lunar crescent) horns of the (red radius) altar of (red radius stick) sweet incense before the (Shekinah) Lord, which is in the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation; and shall pour all the (red radius) blood of the (Taurus) bullock at the bottom of the (red radius) altar of the (solar) burnt offering, which is at the door of the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation.
8 And he shall take off from it all the (lunar white) fat of the (Taurus) bullock for the sin offering; the (lunar white) fat that covereth the inwards, and all the (lunar white) fat that is upon the inwards,
9 And the two (lunar) kidneys, and the (lunar white) fat that is upon them, which is by the (red radius) flanks, and the (red radius membrane) caul above the liver, with the (lunar) kidneys, it shall he (Ophiuchus) take away,
And the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away; or the caul, which is a thin membrane or skin, in which the liver is enclosed, with the liver, together with the kidneys, he separated from the rest in order to burn, at least with a part of the liver; so Jarchi and Gersom interpret it, that he should take a little of the liver with the caul; and indeed some think the word rendered "caul" signifies a part of the liver, that which the Greeks call the "table", the broader part of it, like a table; and which word the Talmudists (T. Bab. Cholin, fol. 46. 1.) retain, who speak of , "the table of the liver"; and by which Jarchi on Exodus 29:13 interprets the caul above the liver, the same as here.
The caul upon the liver] Here and in Leviticus 3:10; Leviticus 3:15, Leviticus 4:9, Leviticus 7:4; Exodus 29:13; the caul of the liver Exodus 29:22; Leviticus 8:16; Leviticus 8:25; Leviticus 9:19; the caul from the liver Leviticus 9:10. The Heb. word translated ‘caul’ occurs only in these passages, and A.V. has the preposition ‘above’ in all of them. By ‘caul’ is here meant the membrane known as the small omentum, which covers the liver, the reticulum jecoris of Vulg. Jerome probably obtained the meaning from his Hebrew teachers. Mediaeval Jewish commentators interpret in the same way, or, as A.V. mg. renders, ‘midriff.’
But Moore in Enc. Bib. iv. p. 420 b had expressed his opinion that the lobus caudatus of the liver is the part indicated by the Heb. text. In an Article contributed to Orient. Studien Th. Nöldeke gewidmet (1906) ii. 761 ff. he examined fully the renderings of the LXX. and other versions, quotations from the Mishna and other Jewish authorities, and shewed that the oldest tradition supported this interpretation. The Heb. literally translated is the redundance upon the liver which he shall take away along with the kidneys. Something connected with the liver, but in the nature of an appendage, which can be removed when the kidneys with the fat enclosing them are taken away, is indicated. From the right lobe of the liver of a sheep projects upwards an excrescence like a finger lying close to the right kidney fat, reaching about halfway up the kidney, which can easily be separated from the liver when the kidney with its surrounding fat is removed according to the directions in Leviticus 3:3-4. It is called (Tal. Bab. Tamid 31 a) ‘the finger of the liver,’ a more descriptive title than ‘the nut,’ given to it by the modern butcher. Anatomists call it lobus caudatus, and it appears to be clearly indicated by the Heb. yôthéreth, redundance, and the directions which imply its proximity to the kidney.
Caul [N] [S]
(Heb. yothe'reth; i.e., "something redundant"), the membrane which covers the upper part of the liver ( Exodus 29:13 Exodus 29:22 ; Leviticus 3:4 Leviticus 3:10 Leviticus 3:15 ; 4:9 ; 7:4 ; marg., "midriff").
10 As it was taken off from the (Taurus) bullock of the (solar) sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall (solar) burn them upon the (red radius) altar of the burnt offering.
11 And the (red radius) skin of the (Taurus) bullock, and all his flesh, with his (lunar) head, and with his (red radius) legs, and his inwards, and his (solar) dung,
12 Even the whole (Taurus) bullock shall he (Ophiuchus) carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where the (black zodiac) ashes are poured out, and (solar) burn him on the (red radius) wood with (solar) fire: where the (black zodiac) ashes are poured out shall he be (solar) burnt.
Without the camp - This was intended figuratively to express the sinfulness of this sin, and the availableness of the atonement. The sacrifice, as having the sin of the priest transferred from himself to it by his confession and imposition of hands, was become unclean and abominable, and was carried, as it were, out of the Lord's sight; from the tabernacle and congregation it must be carried without the camp, and thus its own offensiveness was removed, and the sin of the person in whose behalf it was offered. The apostle (Hebrews 13:11-13) applies this in the most pointed manner to Christ: "For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach."
13 And if the whole (Gemini) congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the thing be hid from the (lunar eyeball) eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat against any of the commandments of the (Shekinah) Lord concerning things which should not be done, and are guilty;
14 When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the congregation shall offer a young (Taurus) bullock for the sin, and bring him before the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation.
15 And the (Gemini) elders of the congregation shall lay their (Castor, Cetus, Canis Minor, Perseus) hands upon the (lunar) head of the (Taurus) bullock before the Lord: and the (Taurus) bullock shall be (Perseus) (red radius) killed before the (Shekinah) Lord.
16 And the (Castor) priest that is anointed shall bring of the (Taurus) bullock's (red radius) blood to the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation:
17 And the (Castor) priest shall dip his finger in some of the (red radius) blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the (Shekinah) Lord, even before the vail.
18 And he shall put some of the (red radius) blood upon the (lunar crescent) horns of the (red radius) altar which is before the (Shekinah) Lord, that is in the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation, and shall pour out all the (red radius) blood at the bottom of the (red radius) altar of the (solar) burnt offering, which is at the door of the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation.
19 And he shall take all his (lunar white) fat from him, and (solar) burn it upon the (red radius) altar.
20 And he shall do with the (Taurus) bullock as he did with the (Taurus) bullock for a sin offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.
21 And he (Ophiuchus) shall carry forth the (Taurus) bullock without the camp, and (solar) burn him as he (solar) burned the first (Taurus) bullock: it is a sin offering for the congregation.
22 When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against any of the commandments of the (Shekinah) Lord his God concerning things which should not be done, and is guilty;
23 Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall bring his offering, a kid of the (Taurus) goats, a male without blemish:
24 And he shall lay his (Castor) hand upon the head of the (Taurus) goat, and (Perseus) (red radius) kill it in the place where they (red radius) kill the (solar) burnt offering before the (Shekinah) Lord: it is a sin offering.
25 And the (Castor) priest shall take of the (red radius) blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the (lunar crescent) horns of the (red radius) altar of (solar) burnt offering, and shall pour out his (red radius) blood at the bottom of the (red radius) altar of (solar) burnt offering.
26 And he shall (solar) burn all his (lunar white) fat upon the (red radius) altar, as the (lunar white) fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement for him as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
27 And if any one of the common (Gemini) people sin through ignorance, while he doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the (Shekinah) Lord concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty;
28 Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he shall bring his offering, a kid of the (Taurus) goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned.
29 And he shall lay his (Castor) hand upon the head of the sin offering, and (Perseus) (red radius) slay the sin offering in the place of the (solar) burnt offering.
30 And the (Castor) priest shall take of the (red radius) blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the (lunar crescent) horns of the (red radius) altar of (solar) burnt offering, and shall pour out all the (red radius) blood thereof at the bottom of the (red radius) altar.
31 And he shall take away all the (lunar white) fat thereof, as the (lunar white) fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall (solar) burn it upon the (red radius) altar for a sweet (red radius) savour unto the (Shekinah) Lord; and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.
32 And if he bring a (Aries) lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female without blemish.

34 And the (Castor) priest shall take of the (red radius) blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the (lunar crescent) horns of the (red radius) altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the (red radius) blood thereof at the bottom of the (red radius) altar:
35 And he shall take away all the (lunar white) fat thereof, as the (lunar white) fat of the (Aries) lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall (solar) burn them upon the (red radius) altar, according to the offerings made by (solar) fire unto the (Shekinah) Lord: and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
TRESPASS Offering: When He Knows of It,
Then He Shall Be Guilty, If He Doesn't Say Something
5:1 And if a soul sin, and hear the (red radius) voice of swearing, and is a (lunar eye-ball) witness, whether he hath seen or known of it; if he do not (red radius) utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity.
An instance of this adjuration is recorded in Matthew 26:63, where the high priest said to Jesus, “I adjure thee by the living God that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the son of God,” and it was in recognition of the solemn obligation of this adjuration that Jesus answered the question.
2 Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an unclean beast (Canis Minor, Canis Major, Ursa Minor, Cetus), or a carcase of unclean cattle (Taurus), or the carcase of unclean creeping things (Scorpio, Drago), and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.
3 Or if he (Castor) touch the uncleanness of man (lunar white semen, solar golden manure), whatsoever uncleanness it be that a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty.
4 Or if a soul swear (Hercules, Cepheus, Perseus, Castor), (red radius) pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.
5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall (red radius) confess that he hath sinned in that thing:
6 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the (Shekinah) Lord for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the (Aries) flock, a lamb or a kid of the (Taurus) goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin.
7 And if he be not able to bring a (Aries) lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass, which he hath committed, two (lunar white) turtledoves, or two young (lunar white) pigeons, unto the (Shekinah) Lord; one for a sin offering, and the other for a (solar) burnt offering.
8 And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off his (lunar white) head from his neck, but shall not divide it asunder:
9 And he shall sprinkle of the (red radius) blood of the sin offering upon the side of the (red radius) altar; and the rest of the (red radius) blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the (red radius) altar: it is a sin offering.
10 And he shall offer the second for a (solar) burnt offering, according to the manner: and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.
11 But if he be not able to bring two (lunar white) turtledoves, or two young (lunar white) pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine (lunar white) flour for a sin offering; he shall put no (solar golden) oil upon it, neither shall he put any (solar golden) frankincense thereon: for it is a sin offering.
12 Then shall he bring it to the (Castor) priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it, even a memorial thereof, and (solar) burn it on the (red radius) altar, according to the offerings made by (solar) fire unto the (Shekinah) Lord: it is a sin offering.
13 And the priest shall make an atonement for him as touching his sin that he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and the remnant shall be the priest's, as a meat offering.
14 And the (Shekinah) Lord spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, saying,
15 If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things of the (Shekinah) Lord; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the Lord a (Aries) ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of (lunar) silver, after the (lunar) shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering.
16 And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto (20%), and give it unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the (Aries) ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him.
17 And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the Lord; though he wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
18 And he shall bring a (Aries) ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist it not, and it shall be forgiven him.
19 It is a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed against the (Shekinah) Lord.
Be Reconciled To Men By Restoring
the Principal Plus 20 Percent
6:1 And the (Shekinah) Lord (red radius) spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, saying,
2 If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the Lord, and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep (fork tongue coming from Drago, Hercules and Ophiuchus), or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by (Perseus) violence, or hath (red radius fork tongue) deceived his neighbour;
3 Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it (fork tongue coming from Drago, Hercules and Ophiuchus), and sweareth falsely (Hercules, Perseus, Castor); in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:
4 Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he (Perseus) took violently away, or the thing which he hath (red radius fork tongue) deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,
5 Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely (Hercules, Perseus, Castor); he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto (20%), and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering.
6 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the Lord, a (Aries) ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest:
7 And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the (Shekinah) Lord: and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing therein.
8 And the (Shekinah) Lord spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, saying,
9 Command (Hercules) Aaron and his (Gemini) sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering: It is the (solar) burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar all night unto the (sun on red radius horizon) morning, and the (solar) fire of the altar shall be burning in it.
10 And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the (black zodiac) ashes which the (solar) fire hath consumed with the (solar) burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.
11 And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the (black zodiac) ashes without the camp unto a clean place.
12 And the (solar) fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every (sun on red radius horizon) morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the (lunar white) fat of the peace offerings.
13 The (solar) fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.
14 And this is the law of the meat (meal) offering: the (Gemini) sons of Aaron shall offer it before the (Shekinah) Lord, before the altar.
15 And he (Castor) shall take of it his handful, of the (lunar) flour of the meat (Meal) offering, and of the (solar) oil thereof, and all the (solar) frankincense which is upon the meat (Meal) offering, and shall (solar) burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour, even the memorial of it, unto the (Shekinah) Lord.
16 And the remainder thereof shall (Hercules) Aaron and his (Gemini) sons eat: with (lunar white) unleavened bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation they shall eat it.
17 It shall not be baken with (lunar white) leaven. I have given it unto them for their portion of my offerings made by (solar) fire; it is most holy, as is the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.
18 All the males among the (Gemini) children of (Hercules) Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations concerning the offerings of the (Shekinah) Lord made by (solar) fire: every one that toucheth them shall be holy.
19 And the (Shekinah) Lord spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, saying,
20 This is the offering of (Hercules) Aaron and of his (Gemini) sons, which they shall offer unto the (Shekinah) Lord in the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah of fine (lunar white) flour for a meat (Meal) offering perpetual, (lunar) half of it in the (sun on red radius horizon) morning, and (lunar) half thereof at (black zodiac) night.
21 In a pan it shall be made with (solar) oil; and when it is baken, thou shalt bring it in: and the baken pieces of the meat (Meal) offering shalt thou offer for a sweet savour unto the (Shekinah) Lord.
22 And the (Castor) priest of his (Gemini) sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer it: it is a statute for ever unto the (Shekinah) Lord; it shall be wholly (solar) burnt.
23 For every meat (Meal) offering for the priest shall be wholly (solar) burnt: it shall not be eaten.
24 And the (Shekinah) Lord (red radius) spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, saying,
25 Speak unto (Hercules) Aaron and to his (Gemini) sons, saying, This is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is (Perseus) (red radius) killed shall the sin offering be (Perseus) (red radius) killed before the (Shekinah) Lord: it is most holy.
26 The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in the holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation.
27 Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and when there is sprinkled of the (red radius) blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it was sprinkled in the holy place.
28 But the (solar or lunar) earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be (red radius) broken: and if it be sodden in a (solar) brasen pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in (lunar) water.
29 All the males among the (Gemini) priests shall eat thereof: it is most holy.
30 And no sin offering, whereof any of the (red radius) blood is brought into the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile withal in the holy place, shall be eaten: it shall be burnt in the (solar) fire.
