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 It shall be slaughtered on the north side of the altar before the Lord, and Aaron's sons the priests shall dash its blood against all sides of the altar.
12 It shall be cut up into its parts, with its head and its suet, and the priest shall arrange them on the wood that is on the fire on the altar;
13 but the entrails and the legs shall be washed with water. Then the priest shall offer the whole and turn it into smoke on the altar; it is a burnt offering, an offering by fire of pleasing odor to the Lord.
14 If your offering to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds, you shall choose your offering from turtledoves or pigeons.
15 The priest shall bring it to the altar and wring off its head, and turn it into smoke on the altar; and its blood shall be drained out against the side of the altar.
