Leviticus 6:8-13

The Pulpit Commentary on Leviticus 6:8-13

The law of the burnt offering.

With this paragraph the Jews begin the twenty-fifth section of the Law; and, as a new subject is here introduced, this ought to have been the commencement of the chapter. In some of the best editions of the Hebrew Bible, the paragraph preceding this is properly made the sequel of the fifth chapter, and the sixth commences with this. The burnt offering was treated of before, viz. in the first chapter, with more particular reference to ceremonies relating to those who brought it; here it is considered in relation to the priests who offered it. We have now to consider—

I. THE LAW OF THE BURNT OFFERING AS TO THE SACRIFICE. And we observe:

1. That the offering was ever upon the altar.

2. That the fire was kept ever burning.

II. THE LAW OF THE BURNT OFFERING AS TO THE PRIEST.

1. "Aaron and his sons" together are addressed. .

2. They attended the altar in their holy garments.

3. He changed his garments to carry the ashes outside.
