Leviticus 8:17 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 8:17

But the bullock and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he
burnt with fire without the camp
Aben Ezra observes, that some say that he did this himself; and others, that it was done by orders, that is, he ordered others to do it, which seems probable enough:

as the Lord commanded Moses;
( Exodus 29:14 ) .
