Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:There is no direct Greek equivalent for "peder" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the concept of sacrificial fat is more specific to the Hebrew sacrificial system. However, related concepts of sacrifice and offering can be found in Greek terms such as θυσία (thusia - G2378), meaning sacrifice or offering.
Usage:The term "peder" refers to the fat of sacrificial animals, particularly the suet or the fatty portions that were considered the best parts of the animal. In the context of the Hebrew sacrificial system, this fat was often burned on the altar as an offering to God, symbolizing the offering of the best and richest portions to the Lord.
Cultural and Historical Background:In ancient Israelite culture, the sacrificial system was central to worship and religious practice. The fat of the animal, especially the suet, was considered the choicest part and was reserved for God. This practice underscored the principle of offering the best to God, reflecting His holiness and the worshiper's devotion. The burning of fat on the altar was a pleasing aroma to the Lord, symbolizing the worshiper's desire to honor God with the finest portions of their offerings.
