Leviticus 3:5

“And Aaron’s sons shall burn it on the altar, etc.] That is, the fat of the several parts before mentioned; this signified the sufferings of Christ, by which our peace is made, and by whose death we are reconciled to God: this rite of burning the fat of the inwards of sacrifices was used by the Pagans, and is still retained by the idolatrous Indians to this day f79: upon the burnt sacrifice; which, as Gersom says, was the burnt offering of the daily sacrifice of the morning, which was offered first of all sacrifices; so Jarchi says, “we learn that the daily burnt offering preceded every other offering:” this was an eminent type of Christ’s sacrifice: which is upon the wood that [is] on the…”
