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).

Leviticus 1:12 In-Context

10 'If his offering is of the flocks--of the sheep or of the goats--as a burnt sacrifice, he shall bring a male without blemish.

11 He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the Lord; and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar.

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

13 but he shall wash the entrails and the legs with water. Then the priest shall bring it all and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.

14 'And if the burnt sacrifice of his offering to the Lord is of birds, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves or young pigeons.
