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).

Leviticus 1:13 In-Context

11 He will slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the Lord. Aaron's sons the priests will sprinkle its blood against the altar on all sides.

12 He will cut it into pieces with its head and its suet, and the priest will arrange them on top of the burning wood on the altar.

13 But he is to wash the entrails and shanks with water. The priest will then present all of it and burn [it] on the altar; it is a burnt offering, a fire offering of a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

14 "If his gift to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds, he is to present his offering from the turtledoves or young pigeons.

15 Then the priest must bring it to the altar, and must twist off its head and burn [it] on the altar; its blood should be drained at the side of the altar.
