Leviticus 4:33-35 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

He shall slay it Not by himself, but by the hands of the priest. Burn them The fat; but he useth the plural number, because the fat was of several kinds, as we saw, Leviticus 4:8-9. Hebrew, upon the offerings, together with them, or after them; because the burnt-offerings were to have the first place.

Leviticus 4:33-35

33 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.

34 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar:

35 And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
