Leviticus 1:9, Leviticus 1:13 NIV

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 1:3-9

The burnt sacrifice of the herd. Having given general instructions concerning the great business of sacrifice, the Most High descends to particulars, and here describes the burnt sacrifice of the herd. These particulars contain specific directions— I. AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE VICTIM . 1 . It must be a male. 2 . It must be without blemish. (1) The rabbins reckon no less than fifty things, any one of which would, in their judgment, render an animal unfit for... read more

The burnt offering. It was wholly consumed by the fire of God's altar; nothing was left for the after consumption either of the offerer or even of God's ministers, as in the other sacrifices. I. IT TYPIFIES THE ENTIRE SELF - SURRENDER OF CHRIST TO GOD . 1. In his eternal resolve to redeem by becoming man. 2. In the humility of his birth on earth. 3. In the silence in which his youth was spent. 4. In the narrow limits within which he confined his... read more

Medication. The sacrificial act cannot be completed, though it can be begun, by the offerer alone. The intervention of God's priest is requisite, and it is his hand which performs the most solemn portion of the rite. Thus there is taught the need of mediation and of a mediator when a work of atonement is to be accomplished. "The expiation was always made or completed by the priest, as the sanctified mediator between Jehovah and the people, or, previous to the institution of the Aaronic... read more

The killing, flaying, and consuming of the victim. Full, throughout, of the idea of atonement. The three main elements are— I. The blood. II. the fire. III. The sweet savour unto the Lord. Consider— I. THE SPRINKLED BLOOD . The offerer killed the victim. The priests received the blood and sprinkled it upon the altar. The two chief elements of atonement were thus trotted—the human and the Divine. Atonement is reconciliation on the ground of a restored... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 1:9

The priest shall burn all on the altar , etc. The fourth and last part of the sacrifice. The word employed is not the common term used for destroying by fire, but means "make to ascend." The life of the animal has already been offered in the blood; now the whole of its substance is "made to ascend" to the Lord. Modern science, by showing that the effect of fire upon the substance of a body is to resolve it into gases which rise from it, contributes a new illustration to the verse. The vapour... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 1:9

Our reasonable service. The burnt offering appears to have been the most general of the sacrifices presented to Jehovah, and to have had the widest significance. Its spiritual counterpart is furnished in Romans 12:1 . Meditation upon the prophetic symbol will abed light upon the "living sacrifice" of the gospel dispensation. I. THE NATURE OF THE CHRISTIAN OFFERING AS THUS SYMBOLIZED . 1 . It is a surrender to God of something that belongs to us. Property... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 1:9

The parts which were washed were the stomach, and bowels, and feet, divided from the carcass at the knee-joint.The priest shall burn - The verb here translated burn, is applied exclusively to the burning of the incense, to the lights of the tabernacle, and to the offerings on the altar. The primary meaning of its root seems to be to exhale odor. (See the margin of Leviticus 24:2; Exodus 30:8). The word for burning in a common way is quite different, and is applied to the burning of those parts... read more

Leviticus 1:8-9. The fat All the fat was to be separated from the flesh, and to be put together, to increase the flame, and to consume the other parts of the sacrifice more speedily. But the inwards shall he wash To signify the universal and perfect purity both of the inwards, or the heart, and of the legs, or ways, or actions, which was in Christ, and which should be in all Christians. And he washed not only the parts now mentioned, but all the rest, the trunk of the body and the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 1:1-17

1:1-7:38 THE OFFERINGSThe burnt offering (1:1-17)Of all the offerings, the burnt offering was the most ancient. It had been in general use among God’s people long before Moses set out laws to regulate it. The offerings of Noah, Abraham and the Israelites in Egypt were all earlier forms of this sacrifice (Genesis 8:20; Genesis 22:2; Exodus 10:25). It was called the burnt offering because all the flesh was burnt upon the altar. None of it was eaten.Thanksgiving, devotion and atonement were all in... read more
