He shall also burn
The phrase "He shall also burn" indicates a specific action commanded by God, emphasizing the priest's role in the sacrificial system. The Hebrew root for "burn" is "קָטַר" (qatar), which means to offer up in smoke. This act of burning is not merely a disposal of waste but a sacred ritual that symbolizes the complete surrender and dedication of the offering to God. The burning of the fat signifies the transformation of the physical into the spiritual, ascending to God as a pleasing aroma. Historically, this act was performed by the high priest, underscoring the mediatory role between God and the people.

the fat
In ancient Israelite culture, "the fat" was considered the best part of the animal, representing richness and abundance. The Hebrew word "חֵלֶב" (cheleb) refers to the choicest portions, which were reserved for God alone. This reflects the principle that God deserves the best of what we have to offer. Theologically, offering the fat symbolizes giving God the best of our lives, not just the leftovers. It is a call to prioritize God in all aspects of life, acknowledging His sovereignty and provision.

of the sin offering
The "sin offering" is a critical component of the Levitical sacrificial system, known in Hebrew as "חַטָּאת" (chatta'ath). This offering was instituted to atone for unintentional sins and to purify the sanctuary from the defilement caused by sin. The sin offering underscores the seriousness of sin and the need for atonement. It points forward to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who, as the perfect sin offering, atoned for the sins of humanity once and for all. This offering highlights God's holiness and the necessity of approaching Him with reverence and repentance.

on the altar
The "altar" is central to the worship practices of ancient Israel, serving as the place where sacrifices were made to God. The Hebrew word "מִזְבֵּחַ" (mizbeach) denotes a place of slaughter or sacrifice. The altar represents the meeting point between the divine and the human, where reconciliation and communion with God occur. In the broader biblical narrative, the altar foreshadows the cross of Christ, where the ultimate sacrifice was made. The act of burning the fat on the altar signifies the offering being wholly dedicated to God, consumed by His holy fire, and accepted as a fragrant offering. This imagery inspires believers to offer their lives as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God.

(25) And the fat of the sin offering.--That is, the fat of the inwards of both the bullock (see Leviticus 16:6) and the goat (see Leviticus 16:15), which constituted the sin offering, as well as the fat of the other goat, which was the priest's sin offering, was to be burnt upon the brazen altar of burnt offering in the courtyard. (See Leviticus 4:8-10.)

Verse 25. - After the flesh of the burnt sacrifice had been placed in order on the altar, the fat of the sin offering, that is, of the bullock (verse 6) and of the goat (verse 15) and of the other goat (Numbers 29:16), is placed upon it, and burnt upon the altar, according to the regular practice.
