Leviticus 4:8

The Holy Bible, Berean Study Bible

Contextual Overview

¹Then the LORD said to Moses, ²"Tell the sons of Israel to do as follows with one who sins unintentionally against any of the LORD's commandments and does what is forbidden by them: ³If the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, he must bring to the LORD a young bull without blemish as a sin offering for the sin he has committed. ⁴He must bring the bull to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting before the LORD, lay his hand on the bull's head, and slaughter it before the LORD. ⁵Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull's blood and bring it into the Tent of Meeting. ⁶The priest is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before the LORD, in front of the veil of the sanctuary. ⁷The priest must then apply some of the blood to the horns of the altar of fragrant incense that is before the LORD in the Tent of Meeting. And he is to pour out the rest of the bull's blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. ⁸Then he shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering: the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them,⁹both kidneys with the fat that is on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys, ¹⁰just as the fat is removed from the ox of the peace offering. The priest shall then burn them on the altar of burnt offering.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin offering,.... When the priest had killed the bullock, and sprinkled and poured the blood, as before commanded; he then cut up the bullock, and took out its inwards, and put them in a vessel, and salted them, and strowed them on the fires z, and burnt them, and the fat of them, as he did with the sacrifice of the peace offerings; so that what is here said, and in the two next verses Leviticus 4:9, is the same with what is ordered concerning them in Leviticus 3:3

Leviticus 3:3- : Leviticus 3:3- : Leviticus 3:3- :. Jarchi and Gersom both observe that they agree, that as one brings peace into the world, so does the other.
