FAT - F>@ - The Hebrews distinguished between the suet or pure fat of an animal and the fat which was intermixed with the lean. kjv@Nehemiah:8:10) Certain restrictions were imposed upon them in reference to the former; some parts of the suet, viz., about the stomach, the entrails, the kidneys, and the tail of a sheep, which grows to an excessive size in many eastern countries, and produces a large quantity of rich fat, were forbidden to be eaten in the case of animals offered to Jehovah in sacrifice. kjv@Leviticus:3:3 kjv@Leviticus:3:9,17; 7:3,23) The ground of the prohibition was that the fat was the richest part of the animal, and therefore belonged to him. kjv@Leviticus:3:16) The burning of the fat of sacrifices was particularly specified in each kind of offering.

FAT - F>@ - i.e. VAT, the word employed in the Authorized Version to translate the Hebrew term yekeb , in kjv@Joel:2:24 kjv@Joel:3:13) The word commonly used for yekeb is "winepress" or "winefat," and once "pressfat." kjv@Haggai:2:16) The "vats" appear to have been excavated out of the native rock of the hills on which the vineyards lay.

FATHER - F>@ - The position and authority of the father as the head of the family are expressly assumed and sanctioned in Scripture, as a likeness of that of the Almighty over his creatures. It lies of course at the root of that so-called patriarchal government, kjv@Genesis:3:16; kjv@1Corinthians:11:3) which was introductory to the more definite systems which followed, and which in part, but not wholly, superseded it. The father’s blessing was regarded as conferring special benefit, but his malediction special injury, on those on whom it fell, kjv@Genesis:9:25-27 kjv@Genesis:27:27-40 kjv@Genesis:48:15 ,20; 49:1) ... and so also the sin of a parent was held to affect, in certain cases, the welfare of his descendants. ( kjv@2Kings:5:27) The command to honor parents is noticed by St. Paul as the only one of the Decalogue which bore a distinct promise, kjv@Exodus:20:12; kjv@Ephesians:6:2) and disrespect towards them was condemned by the law as one of the worst crimes. kjv@Exodus:21:15-17; kjv@1Timothy:1:9) It is to this well-recognized theory of parental authority and supremacy that the very various uses of the term "father" in Scripture are due. "Fathers" is used in the sense of seniors, kjv@Acts:7:2 kjv@Acts:22:1) and of parents in general, or ancestors. kjv@Daniel:5:2; kjv@Jeremiah:27:7; kjv@Matthew:23:30-32)
