fat.Any other fat they might eat; but the fat of these was sacred, because they were the only animals which were offered in sacrifice, though many others ranked among the clean animals as well as these. This prohibition may, however, be understood of these animals when offered in sacrifice, and then only in reference to the inward fat, described in ver. 4. Of the fat in any other circumstances, it cannot be intended, as it was one of the especial blessings which God gave to his people.--"Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats," were the provision which he graciously bestowed on his followers. (See De 32:12-14.) 3:16,17; 4:8-10; 17:6; De 32:38; 1Sa 2:15-17,29; Ac 28:27; Ro 8:13Ro 13:13Leviticus 7:25-27
shall be cut off.21 ye shall eat.The prohibition of the fat or suet, which was restricted to animals offered in sacrifice, taught reverence to the altar and ordinances of God; but that of blood, which was extended to all land animals, had especial respect to the atoning blood of the sacrifice, and of the great antitype which the sacrifice prefigured. 3:17; 17:10-14; Ge 9:4; 1Sa 14:33,34; Eze 33:25; Joh 6:53; Ac 15:20Ac 15:29; Eph 1:7; 1Ti 4:4 that soul.20,21,25; Heb 10:29shall be.Shall be excommunicated or cut off from the people of God, and so deprived of any part of their inheritance or of their blessings.Leviticus 17:10-14

That the blood actually possesses a living principle, and that the life of the whole body is derived from it, is a doctrine of revelation, and a doctrine which the experiments of the most accurate anatomists have served strongly to confirm. The proper circulation of this important fluid through the whole human system was first taught by Solomon in figurative language, (Ec 12:6,) and discovered, as it is called, and demonstrated by Dr. Harvey in 1628; though some Italian philosophers had the same notion a little before. This accurate anatomist was the first who fully revived the Mosaic notion of the vitality of the blood; which was afterwards adopted by the justly celebrated Dr. John Hunter, professor of anatomy, and established by him, by a great variety of strong reasoning and accurate experiments. 14I have.8:15; 16:11,14-19; Mt 20:28; 26:28; Mr 14:24; Ro 3:25; 5:9Eph 1:7; Col 1:14,20; Heb 9:22; 13:12; 1Pe 1:2; 1Jo 1:7; 2:2; Re 1:5 neither.Ex 12:49 which hunteth.7:26hunteth.
