Leviticus 4:8 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 4:8

And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock
for the sin offering
When the priest had killed the bullock, and sprinkled and poured the blood, as before commanded; he then cut up the bullock, and took out its inwards, and put them in a vessel, and salted them, and strowed them on the fires ^F26, and burnt them, and the fat of them, as he did with the sacrifice of the peace offerings; so that what is here said, and in the two next verses ( Leviticus 4:9 Leviticus 4:10 ) , is the same with what is ordered concerning them in ( Leviticus 3:3-5 ) (See Gill on Leviticus 3:3) (See Gill on Leviticus 3:4) (See Gill on Leviticus 3:5). Jarchi and Gersom both observe that they agree, that as one brings peace into the world, so does the other.
