Leviticus 3

Anyone who says the Bible is easy to read has not read Leviticus or struggled with the sacrificial system. If anything is foreign to us, it is this. And though we too enjoy burning the fat in the fire, we in this country don't butcher our own animals. The blood, and fat, and innards and skin are largely unknown to us, except that we see some fat as desirable.

My glossary was somehow led astray several months ago. But it is not surprising I suppose that fat is ambiguous. So fatness is desirable, some is lusted after (1 Samuel 2) and some is to be burned and not eaten if one is strict about these things. So חלב is a word that has several glosses and I had some of them confused in several earlier chapters (now um, er,  'corrected'). The gross fat of חלב overlaps with the fat of דשׁן. Fat and fatness from דשׁן will have to be seen as the desirable kind, not the kind that we like to make smoke of, or flare in a fire.

חלב cheeses(1), choicest(5), galbanum(1), gross fat(25), grossly(1), grossness(1), milk(35), untranslated(1)
דשׁן fat(5), fatness(6), fatten(2), fattened(2), fattens(1), sleek(1)

O my primitive soul.
