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).

11 The person must kill the animal on the north side of the altar before the Lord, and Aaron's sons, the priests, must sprinkle its blood on all sides of the altar.

12 The person must cut the animal into pieces, and the priest must lay them, with the head and fat, on the wood that is on the fire of the altar.

13 The person must wash the animal's inner organs and legs with water, and then the priest must burn all its parts on the altar. It is a whole burnt offering, an offering made by fire, and its smell is pleasing to the Lord.

14 "'If the whole burnt offering for the Lord is a bird, it must be a dove or a young pigeon.

15 The priest will bring it to the altar and pull off its head, which he will burn on the altar; the bird's blood must be drained out on the side of the altar.
