**AND.** This connects Leviticus very closely with Exodus, as Exodus is linked with Genesis.
**the LORD.** Hebrew. *Jehovah.* Whose glory filled the tabernacle, [Exodus 40:35](../../../kjv/exodus/40/35) . No other book contains so many words of Jehovah: "Jehovah spake", thirty-six times (see note on [Leviticus 5:14](../../../kjv/leviticus/5/14) ); "I am Jehovah", twenty-one times; "I am Jehovah your God", twenty-one times; "I (Jehovah) am", three times; "I, Jehovah, do", twice.
**called.** The last letter of this word (in Hebrew) is minuscular, i.e. smaller than the others. This callingis in contrast with the thunders from Sinai.
**spake.** See note on [Leviticus 5:14](../../../kjv/leviticus/5/14) .
**out of the tabernacle of the congregation.** Hebrew out of the tent of assembly: Hebrew. *'ohel.* See App-40 , not *mishkan,* therefore before 1491. There are four such calls: (1) from the burning bush ([Exodus 3:4](../../../kjv/exodus/3/4) ); (2) and (3) from Sinai ([Exodus 19:3](../../../kjv/exodus/19/3) , [Exodus 19:20](../../../kjv/exodus/19/20) ); and here.

**children** = sons.
**say.** Compare note on [Jeremiah 7:22](../../../kjv/jeremiah/7/22) , [Jeremiah 7:23](../../../kjv/jeremiah/7/23) .
**man.** Hebrew. *'adam* ( App-14 ), i.e. a descendant of Adam, not the priests.
**offering.** Hebrew. *korban,* admittance, entrance, or access offering. See App-43 . All the offerings were what God had first given to man; only such can be accepted by Him.

Jehovah begins with the burnt offering and ends with the sin offering: we, in our approach, begin with the sin offering and end with the burnt offering.
**burnt sacrifice.** Hebrew. *'olah.* See App-43 .
**male.** A female permitted in some other offerings, but not here, because of the type. Christ not the sinbearer here, as in [Leviticus 4](../../../kjv/leviticus/4) .
**without blemish.** Hebrew. *tamim,* said of all sacrifices, and the same of Noah, [Genesis 6:9](../../../kjv/genesis/6/9) .
**his own voluntary will.** Not the same as a freewill offering. This not a freewill offering. Hebrew here = "to be accepted for him", i.e. in his stead. Compare [Leviticus 1:4](../../../kjv/leviticus/1/4) . Compare [Exodus 28:38](../../../kjv/exodus/28/38) . [Exodus 19:5](../../../kjv/exodus/19/5) ; [Exodus 22:19](../../../kjv/exodus/22/19) , [Exodus 22:20](../../../kjv/exodus/22/20) , [Exodus 22:29](../../../kjv/exodus/22/29) ; [Exodus 23:11](../../../kjv/exodus/23/11) , There was a double transfer: the unworthiness of the offerer was transferred to the victim; and the acceptableness of the offering was transferred to the offerer. This is confined to the burnt offerings and peace offerings; never with the sin offerings.

**And.** Note the Figure of speech *Polysyndeton* ( App-6 ) in verses: [Leviticus 1:4-9](../../../kjv/leviticus/1/4-9) .
**put.** Hebrew lean, place, or press. It could not be done by proxy. This was all that the sinner could do. It was for God to accept.
**make atonement.** Hebrew. *kaphar,* to cover the sinner and his sin, so that neither is seen. See note on [Exodus 29:33](../../../kjv/exodus/29/33) . No such thing as progress in justification.

**he.** The sacrificer himself killed: the priest received the blood.
**the priests, Aaron's sons.** Hebrew = the sons of Aaron, the priests. Occurs seven times: [Leviticus 1:5](../../../kjv/leviticus/1/5) , [Leviticus 1:8](../../../kjv/leviticus/1/8) , [Leviticus 1:11](../../../kjv/leviticus/1/11) ; [Leviticus 2:2](../../../kjv/leviticus/2/2) ; [Leviticus 3:2](../../../kjv/leviticus/3/2) .[Numbers 10:8](../../../kjv/numbers/10/8) . [Joshua 21:19](../../../kjv/joshua/21/19) .
**sprinkle** = dash. Hebrew throw or jerk.
**door** = entrance.

**flay** = have it flayed. Skin not offered with burnt offering, only with the sin offering.
**cut it . . . pieces.** To show that all was without blemish.

**priest.** Some codices, with Samaritan Pentateuch, Targum of Onkelos, Septuagint, and Syriac, read plural, "priests".
**wood** = logs. No other fuel might be used.

**in order.** Because with the future Antitype all was to be in order.

**he.** Samaritan Pentateuch, Septuagint, and Vulg, read "they".
**wash.** To render the sacrifice like the Antitype. Compare Eph 6:26 , all in order of God's word.
**burn.** Hebrew. *katar.* See App-43 .
**offering.** Hebrew. *'ishsheh.* App-43 .
**sweet savour** = a savour of satisfaction. Compare [Genesis 8:21](../../../kjv/genesis/8/21) .

**the priest.** To make up for the humble offering, the priest did this instead of the offerer.

**feathers,** or filth.
