Ram
The ram and rump is a gift
Looking at Leviticus 9:19 “And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump[1], and that which covereth [the inwards], and the kidneys, and the caul [above] the liver:”
We have seen And the fat (חֶלֶב)[2] explained as the "the best, the abundance, and the part devoted to the LORD".
Of the bullock
The phrase of the bullock[3] is from the Hebrew word showr, (שׁוֹר)ShinVavReish, which is given the Strong's number 07794. It is said to be from the Strong's word shuwr, which is numbered 07788, but consists of the same three Hebrew letters ShinVavReish (שׁוֹר) and translated as went and sing once each, but is said to mean “to travel, journey, go”.
In fact, the same three letters in Hebrew are also given several other Strong's numbers, from 07786 to 07794. These words are translated as we see in 07794 as showr into ox 62 times, bullock 12, cow twice, bull and wall once each, but as 07790, shuwr (שׁוֹר), it is said to mean enemy, or as 07791 and 07792 it is again translated wall, while 07789 which is said to be a verb is translated behold 5 times, see 4, look and observe twice, and lay wait, regard, and perceive once each.
The Hebrew word suwr (שׂוּר) with the Strong's number 07787 is said to mean cut, while Strong's 07786, still consisting of the same three Hebrew letters ShinVavReish (שׂוּר) is said to mean: “to be or act as prince, rule, contend, have power, prevail over,” and is translated reign, have power, and made prince, once each.
Of the Ram
And of the ram[4] comes from the Hebrew word ayil אַיִל [Alef, Yod, Lamed], which has the Strong's number 0352, and is translated ram 156 times but also post 21 times, mighty (men) 4 times, trees twice, lintel and oaks once each. It is identical to 0353[5] and 0354[6], which are translated strength and hart as in a type of deer called a hart.
The earliest mention of אַיִל occurs in the account of Abraham and Isaac: “Then Abraham looked up and saw behind him a ram caught in a thicket by its horns” (Genesis 22:13).
From that moment onward the ram becomes the symbol a faithful and honest sacrifice, to represent an adequate burnt offerings expressing s sincere fellowship offerings, guilt offerings, and even a , ordination rite like the Nazirite rituals (Exodus 29:15-18; Leviticus 5:15-16; Leviticus 8:18-22; Numbers 6:14-17). Because the ram is a mature, vigorous animal, its sacrifice signified costliness and full consecration before the LORD.
From the same as 'uwl; properly, strength; hence, anything strong; specifically a chief (politically); also a ram (from his strength); a pilaster (as a strong support); an oak or other strong tree -- mighty (man), lintel, oak, post, ram, tree.
It is said to be the same as 0193, [Alef, Vav, Lamed] לוא suggesting strength and defined prominence, 1a) body, belly (contemptuous), 1b) nobles, wealthy men, and is translated mighty and strength once each.
The Rump
The words The rump[1] is from 'alyah הילא (Alef, Lamed, Yod, Hey) and numbered 0451. It is said to be from 0422 'alah הלא [Alef, Lamed, Hei][7] and is changed by the addition of an Yod in the middle. The word 'alah is said to mean to swear, and is translated swear 4 times, curse and adjure once each.
The word 'alyah' is consistently translated rump 5 times, but it is identical to the word הילא AlefLamedYodHei numbered 0452 (which is the name of Elijah), and is supposed to mean “my God is Jehovah" or "Yah is God". Because of the meaning of the letters, it is reasonable to conceptualize the word to mean godly strength or power.
Does the word we see as rump actually mean “my God is Jehovah", who would, of course, be the beneficiary of our offering or sacrifice?
That which Covers
We also see the phrase and that which covereth [the inwards] coming from a single word Mcacceh, הסכמ, numbered 04374MemKafSamechHey, and translated that which covers twice, cover or clothing once each. It is said to be from 03680, kacah meaning to cover, conceal, hide and is identical to 04372 and 04373, which is said to mean covering and valuation or worth.
The questions
Has the sophistry and confusion of the Pharisees who failed to see the logos and doctrine of Jesus contaminated our understanding of the Altars of Moses and the way of Jesus the Christ and His early Church?
What is the value of burnt flesh to God?
Does it truly make a sweet savour?
Is the sacrifices made by men to please God by the mutilation and conflagration of His creation?
Have we been deceived concerning the precepts of God's sacrifice just as the Pharisees before us?
The question is will we let God write His laws upon our minds and our hearts or will we fall prey to the superstitions and religious rituals that bound the pharisees in their apostasy where they could not see the message of Christ?
