‏ Leviticus 3:9

v. 9: When a sheep is used for a peace-offering, the whole fat tail (the rump) and the fat from inside the animal must be burned on the altar (v. 9 a). In that region, sheep had very large and fatty tails. Even something that may seem unimportant, like the rump, can become special when it is given to God. This is a reminder that God honors what is dedicated to Him, just as He gives more honor to less important parts of the body (1 Corinthians 12:23-24 b).
