Leviticus 1:12 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 1:12

And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his
fat
Or "his body", as the Targum of Jonathan; this was to be cut in pieces in the same manner as the bullock, (See Gill on Leviticus 1:6):

and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that [is] on the
fire, which is on the altar; (See Gill on Leviticus 1:8).

Leviticus 1:12 In-Context

10 And if his oblation be of the flock, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt-offering; he shall offer it a male without blemish.

11 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before Jehovah: and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood upon the altar round about.

12 And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:

13 but the inwards and the legs shall he wash with water; and the priest shall offer the whole, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.

14 And if his oblation to Jehovah be a burnt-offering of birds, then he shall offer his oblation of turtle-doves, or of young pigeons.
