Leviticus 4:11

11 pellem vero et omnes carnes cum capite et pedibus et intestinis et fimo

Leviticus 4:11 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 4:11

And the skin of the bullock
Not taken off; for the sin offerings that were burnt were not flayed at all, but were cut in pieces with their skins on them F1; in other burnt offerings the skin was taken off, and was a perquisite of the priest, ( Leviticus 7:8 ) but this being an offering for the priest, the skin was burnt with the rest:

and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his
inwards, and his dung;
the burning of these denoted the sufferings of Christ, and these several parts the extent of them, they reaching to all parts of his body as stretched upon the cross; and the dung particularly the reproach of them, he dying the death of the cross, and was made sin and a curse for his people.

Leviticus 4:11 In-Context

9 duos renunculos et reticulum quod est super eos iuxta ilia et adipem iecoris cum renunculis
10 sicut aufertur de vitulo hostiae pacificorum et adolebit ea super altare holocausti
11 pellem vero et omnes carnes cum capite et pedibus et intestinis et fimo
12 et reliquo corpore efferet extra castra in locum mundum ubi cineres effundi solent incendetque ea super lignorum struem quae in loco effusorum cinerum cremabuntur
13 quod si omnis turba Israhel ignoraverit et per inperitiam fecerit quod contra mandatum Domini est
