The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 1:1-17

Entire consecration, as illustrated in the burnt offering. cf. Romans 12:1 .—We start with the assumption that the Book of Exodus presents "the history of redemption."

If any man of you bring. Sacrifices are not now being instituted for the first time. Burnt offerings at least, if not peace offerings, had existed since the time of the Fall.
