- the rump:
- Alyah is the large tail of a species of eastern sheep. "This tail," says Dr. Russell, "is very broad and large, terminating in a small appendix that turns back upon it. It is of a substance between fat and marrow, and is not eaten separately, but mixed with lean meat in many of their dishes, and also often used instead of butter. A common sheep of this sort, without the head, feet, skin, and entrails, weighs about twelve or fourteen Aleppo rotoloes, (a rotoloe is five pounds), of which the tail is usually three rotoloes or upwards; but such as are of the largest breed, and have been fattened, will sometimes weigh about thirty rotoloes, and the tails of these ten." "And he shall offerª° of the sacrificeª¹ of the peace offeringª an offering made by fireª unto the LORD;ª the fatª thereof, [and] the wholeª rump,ª it shall he take offª° hard² by¹ the backbone;ª and the fatª that coverethª°¹ the inwards,ª and all¹ the fatª that¹ [is] upon¹ the inwards,ª" {Lev 3:9} + "And he shall offerª° of¹ it all¹ the fatª thereof;¹ the rump,ª and the fatª that coverethª°¹ the inwards,ª" {Lev 7:3} + "And the fatª of¹ the bullockª and of¹ the ram,ª the rump,ª and that which coverethª [the inwards], and the kidneys,ª and the caulª [above] the liver:ª" {Lev 9:19}
