Leviticus 1:13 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 1:13

But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water,
&c.] As he did the bullock, ( Leviticus 1:9 ) :

and the priest shall bring [it] all:
all the parts to the ascent of the altar, as the Jews F9 interpret it; all the parts and pieces of it, even the very wool on the sheep's head, and the hair on the goat's beard, their bones, sinews, and horns, and hoofs F11, all were burnt, as it follows:

and burn [it] on the altar, it [is] a burnt offering, an offering
made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord;
(See Gill on Leviticus 1:9).
