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).

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

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

13 but the inwards and the legs shall he wash with water; and the priest shall present [it] all, and burn [it] on the altar: it is a burnt-offering, an offering by fire to Jehovah of a sweet odour.

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