Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts,.... That were cut in pieces, Leviticus 1:6 some of which are particularly mentioned:

the head and the fat; the head which was cut off, and the body, the trunk of it; so, Aben Ezra says, the wise men interpret the word

פדר "fat", which is only used here and in Leviticus 1:12 and which he thinks is right; though others take it to be the fat caul, or midriff, which parts the entrails; and the Targum of Jonathan renders it, the covering of fat: these are particularly mentioned, but include in general the rest of the pieces, which were laid:

in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar; this disposition of the several parts of the burnt offering upon the altar signifies the laying of Christ upon the cross, and the disposition of his head, his hands, and feet there; according to the usual order of crucifixion: the skin, as before observed, was not burnt, but was the property of the priest, and the sinew that shrunk was taken away, and cast upon the ashes in the middle of the altar z.

z Ib. Maaseh Hakorbanot, c. 6. sect. 4.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The parts of the victim were then salted by the priest in conformity with the rule, Leviticus 2:13; Ezekiel 43:24; Mark 9:49, and placed IN ORDER upon the wood, i. e. in the same relation to each other that they had in the living animal.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Leviticus 1:8. The priests - shall lay the parts — The sacrifice was divided according to its larger joints.

1. After its blood was poured out, and the skin removed, the head was cut off.

2. They then opened it and took out the omentum, or caul, that invests the intestines.

3. They took out the intestines with the mesentery, and washed them well, as also the fat.

4. They then placed the four quarters upon the altar, covered them with the fat, laid the remains of the intestines upon them, and then laid the head above all.

5. The sacred fire was then applied, and the whole mass was consumed. This was the holocaust, or complete burnt-offering.
