But the flesh of the bullock, &c.— The burning of the bullock, with all that appertained to it, without the camp, was figurative of that reproachful suffering of CHRIST, the great sin-offering of the world, as we are informed, Hebrews 13:11 see Leviticus 4:3; Leviticus 4:35. The word חטאת chatat, signifies a sin-offering, a victim, on which the sin is put, as well as sin in the general: hence, 2 Corinthians 5:21. Christ is said to have been made sin, that is, a sin-offering for us. See Jackson's works, vol. 2: p. 1028.
