11 And he shall kill H7819 it on the side H3409 of the altar H4196 northward H6828 before H6440 the LORD: H3068 and the priests, H3548 Aaron's H175 sons, H1121 shall sprinkle H2236 his blood H1818 round about H5439 upon the altar. H4196
And he shall kill H7819 the bullock H1121 H1241 before H6440 the LORD: H3068 and the priests, H3548 Aaron's H175 sons, H1121 shall bring H7126 the blood, H1818 and sprinkle H2236 the blood H1818 round about H5439 upon the altar H4196 that is by the door H6607 of the tabernacle H168 of the congregation. H4150
And he put H5414 the table H7979 in the tent H168 of the congregation, H4150 upon the side H3409 of the tabernacle H4908 northward, H6828 without H2351 the vail. H6532
And the sons H1121 of Aaron H175 the priest H3548 shall put H5414 fire H784 upon the altar, H4196 and lay the wood H6086 in order H6186 upon the fire: H784 And the priests, H3548 Aaron's H175 sons, H1121 shall lay H6186 the parts, H5409 the head, H7218 and the fat, H6309 in order H6186 upon the wood H6086 that is on the fire H784 which is upon the altar: H4196 But his inwards H7130 and his legs H3767 shall he wash H7364 in water: H4325 and the priest H3548 shall burn H6999 all on the altar, H4196 to be a burnt sacrifice, H5930 an offering made by fire, H801 of a sweet H5207 savour H7381 unto the LORD. H3068
Speak H1696 unto Aaron H175 and to his sons, H1121 saying, H559 This is the law H8451 of the sin offering: H2403 In the place H4725 where the burnt offering H5930 is killed H7819 shall the sin offering H2403 be killed H7819 before H6440 the LORD: H3068 it is most H6944 holy. H6944
In the place H4725 where they kill H7819 the burnt offering H5930 shall they kill H7819 the trespass offering: H817 and the blood H1818 thereof shall he sprinkle H2236 round about H5439 upon the altar. H4196
And he slew H7819 the burnt offering; H5930 and Aaron's H175 sons H1121 presented H4672 unto him the blood, H1818 which he sprinkled H2236 round about H5439 upon the altar. H4196 And they presented H4672 the burnt offering H5930 unto him, with the pieces H5409 thereof, and the head: H7218 and he burnt H6999 them upon the altar. H4196 And he did wash H7364 the inwards H7130 and the legs, H3767 and burnt H6999 them upon the burnt offering H5930 on the altar. H4196
Then said H559 he unto me, Son H1121 of man, H120 lift up H5375 thine eyes H5869 now the way H1870 toward the north. H6828 So I lifted up H5375 mine eyes H5869 the way H1870 toward the north, H6828 and behold northward H6828 at the gate H8179 of the altar H4196 this image H5566 of jealousy H7068 in the entry. H872

Commentary on Leviticus 1 Matthew Henry Commentary
An Exposition, With Practical Observations, of
The Third Book of Moses, Called Leviticus
Chapter 1
This book begins with the laws concerning sacrifices, of which the most ancient were the burnt-offerings, about which God gives Moses instructions in this chapter. Orders are here given how that sort of sacrifice must be managed.
Lev 1:1-2
Observe here,
Lev 1:3-9
If a man were rich and could afford it, it is supposed that he would bring his burnt-sacrifice, with which he designed to honour God, out of his herd of larger cattle. He that considers that God is the best that is will resolve to give him the best he has, else he gives him not the glory due unto his name. Now if a man determined to kill a bullock, not for an entertainment for his family and friends, but for a sacrifice to his God, these rules must be religiously observed:-
Lev 1:10-17
Here we have the laws concerning the burnt-offerings, which were of the flock or of the fowls. Those of the middle rank, that could not well afford to offer a bullock, would bring a sheep or a goat; and those that were not able to do that should be accepted of God if they brought a turtle-dove or a pigeon. For God, in his law and in his gospel, as well as in his providence, considers the poor. It is observable that those creatures were chosen for sacrifice which were most mild and gentle, harmless and inoffensive, to typify the innocence and meekness that were in Christ, and to teach the innocence and meekness that should be in Christians. Directions are here given,
