Kretzmann's Popular Commentary

Leviticus 4:35

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, Leviticus 3:9; and the priest shall burn them upon the altar, of burnt offering, 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. Thus the Lord in mercy provided a way for the believers of the Old Testament by which, although in a symbolical manner, they received the assurance of the forgiveness of their sins, the blood of their sacrifices foreshadowing the greater, the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who has found an eternal redemption for us.
