Then the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.¹¹But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, with its head and legs and its entrails and dung—¹²all the rest of the bull—he must take outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place where the ashes are poured out, and there he must burn it on a wood fire on the ash heap.

Summary

Leviticus 4:11 details the sacrificial process for unintentional sin committed by the anointed priest, requiring the blood of the bull to be brought into the tent of meeting and sprinkled seven times before the veil of the sanctuary. This act symbolizes the atonement for the priest's sin and the purification of the sanctuary from defilement. The repetition of the sprinkling emphasizes the thoroughness and completeness of the cleansing ritual, highlighting the seriousness of sin and the need for forgiveness through the shedding of blood. This verse underscores the importance of repentance, atonement, and the sanctity of God's dwelling place in the Old Testament sacrificial system.

the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh--In ordinary circumstances, these were perquisites of the priests. But in the expiation necessary for a sin of the high priest, after the fat of the sacrifice was offered on the altar, the carcass was carried without the camp [Lev 4:12], in order that the total combustion of it in the place of ashes might the more strikingly indicate the enormity of the transgression, and the horror with which he regarded it (compare Heb 13:12-13).
