1. Leviticus 7:24 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

What allowance does the Lord provide to the people regarding the fat of an animal suitable for sacrifice?

Leviticus 7:24 (ESV)

24 The fat of an animal that dies of itself and the fat of one that is torn by beasts may be put to any other use, but on no account shall you eat it.

If an animal that could be sacrificed dies, either naturally or by other animals, it could no longer be offered as a sacrifice. Then it could be used for other things such as oil, polish, or grease.
