6. ὁλοκαυτώματα. Lit., “Holocausts.” The word occurs here alone in the N. T. These “whole burnt offerings” typified absolute self-dedication; but the holocaust without the self-sacrifice was valueless.
περὶ ἁμαρτίας. “Sin-offerings.” An ellipse for θυσίας περὶ ἁμ. derived from the LXX. (Lev 7:27 [37]).
