“And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto the Lord.”
The priest is to splash the blood against the altar of the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting and burn the fat as an aroma pleasing to the Lord. The properly presented animal produces the proper offering: blood splashed on the altar, fat burned for God, pleasing aroma. The fellowship offering that results from the properly presented animal is the community meal that the covenant's hospitality requires. The blood and fat that belong to God are given to God; the rest of the animal feeds the community. The proper worship creates the community's provision.
