* 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.)
