“And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,”
He shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering — all the fat that covers the internal organs and all the fat connected to them. The removal of the fat from the sin offering bull follows the same pattern as the fellowship offering: all the fat covering the internal organs belongs to God and is burned on the altar. The consistency of the fat-portion regulation across the different offering types communicates the consistent principle: regardless of why an offering is brought, the fat belongs to God. The sin offering that addresses the priest's failure follows the same standard as the fellowship offering that celebrates covenant communion — the God who receives both is the same God with the same claim on the richest portions.
