8So Aaron drew near unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin-offering, which was for himself.
9And the sons of Aaron presented the blood unto him; and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar:
10but the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul from the liver of the sin-offering, he burnt upon the altar; as Jehovah commanded Moses.
11And the flesh and the skin he burnt with fire without the camp.
12And he slew the burnt-offering; and Aaron`s sons delivered unto him the blood, and he sprinkled it upon the altar round about.
13And they delivered the burnt-offering unto him, piece by piece, and the head: and he burnt them upon the altar.
14And he washed the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt-offering on the altar.

What do historical commentaries say?

John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp.] With common fire, for the fire from the Lord came only upon the altar, which perhaps may be the reason of this expression being used when anything was burnt without the camp, and not on the altar, (see <022914>Exodus 29:14 <030817>Leviticus 8:17). Jarchi observes, that we do not find a sin offering burnt without the camp but this; which is a great mistake; (see <030411>Leviticus 4:11,12,20,21 8:17).”
