Commentary
3 notes on this verseThis site's exposition
the anointed priest is to bring some of the bull’s blood
on Leviticus 4:16-18
The congregation's bull is handled exactly as the priest's was, and the text writes the whole procedure out a second time. A whole nation and the anointed priest pay the same animal and the same rite.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood,.... That is, the chief priest, as the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan explain it: to the tabernacle of the congregation; as he brought the blood of his own bullock, Lev 4:5 from hence to the Lev 4:16 an account is given of the same rites to be observed in the sin offering, for the congregation, as for the anointed priest; See Gill on Lev 4:6, Lev 4:7, Lev 4:12.

The fat was the only part of the animal which was offered on the altar; for the carcass, with its appurtenances and offals, was carried without the camp, into the place where the ashes were deposited, and there consumed with fire.
