And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin offering, etc.] When the priest had killed the bullock, and sprinkled and poured the blood, as before commanded; he then cut up the bullock, and took out its inwards, and put them in a vessel, and salted them, and strowed them on the fires f95, and burnt them, and the fat of them, as he did with the sacrifice of the peace offerings; so that what is here said, and in the two next verses (<030409>Leviticus 4:9,10), is the same with what is ordered concerning them in (<030303>Leviticus 3:3-5 (see Gill on “<030303>Leviticus 3:3”) (see Gill on “<030304>Leviticus 3:4”) (see Gill on “<030305>Leviticus 3:5”)). Jarchi and Gersom both observe that they agree, that as one brings peace into the world, so does the other.
