Commentary

4 notes on this verse
And they presented the burnt offering to him,.... After it was cut in pieces, as the ram of the burnt offering was by Moses, Lev 8:20 and so it was done to this, as appears by what follows: with the pieces thereof, and the head, and he burnt them upon the altar; the Septuagint version is, "he put them on the altar".

on Leviticus 9:12-14

Chapters 1 to 7 are the law and this is the law done, in the same order: slaughtered, sprinkled, burned. The washing of the entrails and the legs at verse 14 is the instruction of 1:9 carried out to the letter.

This site's exposition

They brought him the burnt offering piece by piece

Aaron's sons bring the ram already cut into its pieces, and Aaron burns them on the altar. John Gill notes that it was divided as Moses had divided the ram of the burnt offering at Leviticus 8:20. The Septuagint, Gill adds, reads that he put them on the altar.
