Removed — Some of the lesser cattle; for these also might be offered as burnt — offerings, Leviticus 1:10, and hence it may seem that all these small cattle were not given for paschal — lambs, but were to be offered as burnt — offerings for the people. And these they put apart lest they should be confounded with them which were for another use; and, that they might not be hindered from that which was their present work, that they might give, the paschal — lambs or kids. To offer — These words may belong to the last words, and to the paschal — lambs, which they were first to offer to the Lord, by killing them and sprinkling the blood, and then to give to the people; though the giving be here mentioned before the offering, such transpositions being usual in scripture. Oxen — As they did with the lesser cattle; they removed those oxen which were to be offered as burnt — offerings, from those which were to be offered as peace — offerings.
