Leviticus 3:12

"The priest shall burn it on the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire to the LORD."

Key Reflection

This verse underscores the complete and sacrificial nature of the offerings, symbolizing that everything offered to God must be wholly dedicated and consumed in service to Him. The act of burning the offering on the altar signifies its transformation into something sacred, reflecting the total commitment required from the worshipper.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

SeeLeviticus 1:10note. Birds were not accepted as peace-offerings, most probably because they were, by themselves, insufficient to make up a sacrificial meal.
