The Heb. words for -burned," -burnt" in these verses are different. That in Leviticus 8:16 means to make into sweet smelling smoke, and is cognate to the Heb. word for -incense"; it is used always of burning sacrificial victims as in Leviticus 8:20; Leviticus 8:28. The burning that is done outside the camp is expressed by the ordinary Heb. word for burning.

The same difference is to be noted in Leviticus 9:10-11 See Driver on Exodus 29:13.
