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).

10 "'If his offering is from the flock, from the sheep, or from the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall offer a male without blemish.

11 He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the LORD. Aharon's sons, the Kohanim, shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar.

12 He shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat. The Kohen shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar,

13 but the innards and the legs he shall wash with water. The Kohen shall offer the whole, and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to the LORD.
