This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
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.
without blemish. Hebrew. tamim, said of all sacrifices, and the same of Noah, Gen_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 Lev_1:4. Compare Exo_28:38. Exo_19:5; Exo_22:19, Exo_22:20, Exo_22:29; Exo_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.
