Leviticus 4:26

And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement for him as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.

The provision belongs to the sin offering for a ruler or for one of the people, whose blood was not taken into the holy place and whose flesh the priest ate in the court of the tent of meeting. Under the Mosaic or Levitical dispensation God required sin offerings in addition to the tenth of all increase or tithe.

The other returns God required alongside the tithe included thank-offerings, trespass-offerings, sacrificial offerings and other dues. Property was sanctified by being returned to the Giver, keeping God's claims paramount, with the requirement proportioned to the amount possessed so that the larger the capital entrusted the more valuable the gift required to be returned. The tithe alone was not the full standard of Jewish contributions. Christians possessing ten or twenty thousand dollars are under imperative claims not only to give their proportion according to the tithing system but also to present sin-offerings and thank-offerings to God.
