Levítico 4:12

12 finalmente, todo el novillo lo sacará fuera del campamento, a un lugar limpio, donde se echan las cenizas con la grosura quemada, y lo quemará al fuego sobre la leña; en el lugar donde se echan las cenizas con la grosura quemada será quemado

Levítico 4:12 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 4:12

Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the
camp
The Jewish writers interpret it without the three camps {b}, the camp of the tabernacle, the camp of the Levites, and the camp of the Israelites; when the temple was built, such sacrifices were carried and burnt without the city of Jerusalem; there were three places for burning; one was in the midst of the court, where they burnt such sacrifices as were unfit and rejected; the other was in the mountain of the house called Birah, where they burnt such as any accident befell them, after the carrying of them out of the court; and the third place was without Jerusalem, called the place of ashes ^F3: this was typical of Christ being had out of the city of Jerusalem, and suffering without the gates of it, ( Hebrews 13:11 Hebrews 13:12 ) :

unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out;
the ashes of the burnt offerings. This, according to Ainsworth, answered to the place where Christ was crucified, being a place of skulls, or dead men's ashes, ( John 19:17 ) :

and burn him on the wood with fire;
any wood might be used for the burning of it, even straw or stubble, which in the Hebrew language are called wood, as Gersom on the place observes, and so Maimonides ^F4; and it is added, "with fire", as the last writer says ^F5, to exclude lime and cinder coals:

where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt;
openly without; and seeing it is not said, that the priest shall carry forth the bullock, and shall burn it, it is concluded by Gersom on the place, that both may be done lawfully by a stranger, and so Maimonides ^F6.

Levítico 4:12 In-Context

10 de la manera que se quita del buey del sacrificio de la paz; y hará el sacerdote perfume de ello sobre el altar del holocausto

11 Y el cuero del novillo, y toda su carne, con su cabeza, y sus piernas, y sus intestinos, y su estiércol

12 finalmente, todo el novillo lo sacará fuera del campamento, a un lugar limpio, donde se echan las cenizas con la grosura quemada, y lo quemará al fuego sobre la leña; en el lugar donde se echan las cenizas con la grosura quemada será quemado

13 Y si toda la congregación de Israel hubiere errado, y el negocio estuviere oculto a la congregación, y hubieren hecho algo contra alguno de los mandamientos del SEÑOR en cosas que no se han de hacer, y son culpables

14 luego que fuere entendido el pecado que cometieron, la congregación ofrecerá un novillo como el pecado, y lo traerán delante del tabernáculo del testimonio
