Leviticus 4:8 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 4:8

And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock
for the sin offering
When the priest had killed the bullock, and sprinkled and poured the blood, as before commanded; he then cut up the bullock, and took out its inwards, and put them in a vessel, and salted them, and strowed them on the fires ^F26, and burnt them, and the fat of them, as he did with the sacrifice of the peace offerings; so that what is here said, and in the two next verses ( Leviticus 4:9 Leviticus 4:10 ) , is the same with what is ordered concerning them in ( Leviticus 3:3-5 ) (See Gill on Leviticus 3:3) (See Gill on Leviticus 3:4) (See Gill on Leviticus 3:5). Jarchi and Gersom both observe that they agree, that as one brings peace into the world, so does the other.

Leviticus 4:8 In-Context

6 And the priest shall dip his finger into the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the Lord, over against the holy veil.

7 And the priest shall put of the blood of the calf on the horns of the altar of the compound incense which is before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of witness; and all the blood of the calf shall he pour out by the foot of the altar of whole-burnt-offerings, which is by the doors of the tabernacle of witness.

8 and all the fat of the calf of the sin-offering shall he take off from it; the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is on the inwards,

9 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is on the thighs, and the caul that is on the liver with the kidneys, them shall he take away,

10 as he takes it away from the calf of the sacrifice of peace-offering, so shall the priest offer it on the altar of burnt-offering.
