Leviticus 4:12

_EVEN THE WHOLE BULLOCK SHALL HE CARRY FORTH WITHOUT THE CAMP UNTO A CLEAN PLACE, WHERE THE ASHES ARE_ _ POURED OUT, AND BURN HIM ON THE WOOD WITH FIRE: WHERE THE ASHES ARE POURED OUT SHALL HE BE BURNT._ Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth, х_ WªHOWTSIY'_ (H3318) (in the Hiphil or causative conjugation of the verb _ YAATSA'_ (H3318)] - he shall cause to go forth; i:e., to have conveyed (cf. Leviticus 6:10; Hebrews 6:3; 14:45) or carried, as the word implies (Exodus 12:46; Deuteronomy 24:11;...

1-12 Burnt-offerings, meat-offerings, and peace-offerings, had been offered before the giving of the law upon mount Sinai; and in these the patriarchs had respect to sin, to make atonement for it. But the Jews were now put into a way of making atonement for sin, more particularly by sacrifice, as a shadow of good things to come; yet the substance is Christ, and that one offering of himself, by which he put away sin. The sins for which the sin-offerings were appointed are supposed to be open acts. They are supposed to be sins of commission, things which ought not to have been done. Omissions are sins, and must come into judgment: yet what had been omitted at one time, might be done at another; but a sin committed was past recall. They are supposed to be sins committed through ignorance. The law begins with the case of the anointed priest. It is evident that God never had any infallible p...

Verse Leviticus 4:12. _WITHOUT THE CAMP_] This was intended figuratively to express the sinfulness of this sin, and the availableness of the atonement. The sacrifice, as having the sin of the priest transferred from himself to it by his confession and imposition of hands, was become unclean and abominable, and was carried, as it were, out of the Lord's sight; from the tabernacle and congregation it must be carried without the camp, and thus its own offensiveness was removed, and the sin of the person in whose behalf it was offered. The apostle (Hebrews 13:11) applies this in the most pointed manner to Christ: "For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are _burned without the camp_. Wherefore JESUS also, that he might sanctify th...

A clean place where the ashes are poured out See Leviticus 1:16 note. It was a place free from impurities, not like those referred to in Leviticus 14:40, Leviticus 14:45. The flesh, though it was burned in an ordinary way, and not sent up in the fire of the altar (see Leviticus 1:9 note), was not to be confounded with carrion, but was associated with the remains of the sacrifices. The priests could not eat the flesh of this victim or of that offered for the sin of the congregation, as they ate that of other sin-offerings L

EXPOSITION THE SIN OFFERING (Leviticus 4:1, Leviticus 5:1). At the time of the Mosaic legislation, burnt offerings and meat offerings were already in existence, and had existed from the time of the Fall. A beginning, therefore, is made with them, and the regulations of the peace offerings naturally follow, because these sacrifices succeed in order to the burnt and meat offerings, and because sacrifices in some respects of the same nature as peace offerings had previously existed under a different name (cf. Exodus 10:25 with Exodus 24:5, and see above notes on...

EVEN THE WHOLE BULLOCK SHALL HE CARRY FORTH WITHOUT THE CAMP,.... The Jewish writers interpret it without the three camps b, the camp of the tabernacle, the camp of the Levites, and the camp of the Israelites; when the temple was built, such sacrifices were carried and burnt without the city of Jerusalem; there were three places for burning; one was in the midst of the court, where they burnt such sacrifices as were unfit and rejected; the other was in the mountain of the house called Birah, where they burnt such as any accident befell them, after the carrying of them out of the court; and the third place was without Jerusalem, called the place of ashes c: this was typical of Christ being had out of the city of Jerusalem, and suffering without the gates of it, Hebrews 13:11: UNTO A CLEAN PLACE, WHERE THE ASHES ARE POURED OUT; the ashes of the burnt offerings. This, acco

WITHOUT THE CAMP Compare (Exodus 29:14); (Leviticus 16:27); (Numbers 19:3); (Hebrews 13:10). The last passage is the interpretative one. The "camp" was Judaism - a religion of forms and ceremonies. "Jesus, also, that He might sanctify separate, or set apart for God] the people with or 'through' His own blood, suffered without the gate" temple gate, city gate, that is, Judaism civil and religious]; (Hebrews 13:12) but how does this sanctify, or set apart, a people? "Let us go forth therefore unto Him without the camp Jud

LEVITICUS 4:1 TO LEVITICUS 5:13. THE SIN OFFERING. This, and the guilt offering, whose ritual follows, are unknown before the Exile, save as fines (2 Kings 12:16; Amos 2:8). Ezek. mentions both, but is conscious of no difference between them. Probably the distinction between them grew up gradually (see on Ezekiel 5:14 ff.). The ritual is derived partly from that of the burnt offering and peace offering; partly from other old rites. No idea of substitution seems to be implied (though it is true that a ritual tablet from Babylonia states that idea very clearly; th
