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):

fire, which is on the altar; (See Gill on Leviticus 1:8).

Leviticus 1:12 In-Context

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

11 and he shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the LORD, and Aaron's sons the priests shall throw its blood against the altar round about.

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

13 but the entrails and the legs he shall wash with water. And the priest shall offer the whole, and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt offering, an offering by fire, a pleasing odor to the LORD.

14 "If his offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves or of young pigeons.
