Leviticus 1:10

The Holy Bible, Berean Study Bible

Contextual Overview

¹⁰If, however, one's offering is a burnt offering from the flock-from the sheep or goats-he is to present an unblemished male.¹¹He shall slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the LORD, and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle its blood against the altar on all sides. ¹²He is to cut the animal into pieces, and the priest shall arrange them, with its head and fat, atop the burning wood that is on the altar. ¹³The entrails and legs must be washed with water, and the priest shall bring all of it and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. ¹⁴If, instead, one's offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, he is to offer a turtledove or a young pigeon. ¹⁵Then the priest shall bring it to the altar, twist off its head, and burn it on the altar; its blood should be drained out on the side of the altar. ¹⁶And he is to remove the crop with its contents and throw it to the east side of the altar, in the place for ashes. ¹⁷He shall tear it open by its wings, without dividing the bird completely. And the priest is to burn it on the altar atop the burning wood. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

of the flocks: Leviticus 1:2, Genesis 4:4, Genesis 8:20, Isaiah 53:6, Isaiah 53:7, John 1:29

a burnt sacrifice: Olah, a burnt offering, from âlah, to ascend, because this offering ascended, as it were, to God in flame and smoke, being wholly consumed; for which reason its is called in the Septuagint, ןכןךבץפשלב, a whole burnt offering. This was the most important of all the sacrifices; and no part of it was eaten either by the priest or the offerer, but the whole was offered to God. It has been sufficiently shown by learned men, that almost every nation of the earth, in every age, had their burnt offerings, from the persuasion that there was no other way to appease the incensed gods; and they even offered human sacrifices, because they imagined that life was necessary to redeem life, and that the gods would be satisfied with nothing less.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And if his offering be of the flocks,.... As it might be:

[namely], of the sheep, or of the goats for a burnt sacrifice; which were both typical of Christ, :-

he shall bring it a male without blemish; :-.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Of the flocks - These directions are more brief than those for the bullock. The burnt-offering of the sheep must have been that with which the people were most familiar in the daily morning and evening service. Exodus 29:38-42. Sheep were preferred for sacrifice when they could be obtained, except in some special sin-offerings in which goats were required Leviticus 4:23; Leviticus 9:3; Leviticus 16:5. The lamb “without blemish” is a well-known type of Christ. Heb 9:14; 1 Peter 1:19.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Leviticus 1:10. His offering be of the flocks — Leviticus 1:2.
