The bull represents the seriousness of sin and the need for a significant sacrifice. This foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who bore the sins of humanity.he must take outside the camp Taking the remains outside the camp signifies the removal of sin from the community. In ancient Israel, the camp represented the dwelling place of God's people, and anything unclean or sinful was to be removed to maintain holiness. This act prefigures Christ's crucifixion outside the city of Jerusalem, as mentioned in <a href="/hebrews/13-11.htm">Hebrews 13:11-12</a>, symbolizing the removal of sin.to a ceremonially clean place The requirement for a clean place underscores the importance of maintaining purity even in the disposal of sacrificial remains. This reflects the holiness of God and the need for His people to approach Him with reverence and purity. It also highlights the separation between the sacred and the profane.where the ashes are poured out, Ashes from previous sacrifices were disposed of in a designated area, emphasizing the continuity and regularity of sacrificial practices.

The use of wood is reminiscent of the cross, where Christ was sacrificed, fulfilling the ultimate sin offering.on the ash heap. The ash heap, or "place of removal," served as a constant reminder of the consequences of sin and the need for atonement.

Hence the ancient Greek Version (LXX.) and the Samaritan rightly render it by "and they shall carry," in the plural: i.e., the whole bullock shall be carried forth. In <a href="/leviticus/4-24.htm" title="And he shall lay his hand on the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD: it is a sin offering.">Leviticus 4:24</a> of this very chapter the Authorised Version properly translates the same idiom into "in the place where they kill the burnt offering," though the verb, as in the verse before us, is in the singular. (See also <a href="/leviticus/4-14.htm" title="When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation.">Leviticus 4:14</a>.)Without the camp.--During the time of the second Temple there were three places for burning: one place was in the court of the sanctuary, where they burnt the sacrifices which were unfit and rejected; the second place was in the mountain of the house called Birah, where were buried those sacrifices which met with an accident after they had been carried out of the court; and the third place was without Jerusalem, called the place of ashes. It is this place to which the Apostle refers when he says, "for the bodies of those beast whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin are burned without the camp. Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered without the gate" (<a href="/context/hebrews/13-11.htm" title="For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.">Hebrews 13:11-12</a>).And burn him on the wood with fire.--Whilst special wood was required for the burning of those victims which were consumed in the court of the sanctuary (see <a href="/leviticus/1-7.htm" title="And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay the wood in order on the fire:">Leviticus 1:7</a>), the sacrifices which were taken outside the city could be burnt with any wood, or even straw or stubble. All that was insisted on was that it should be burned with fire, as the text before us has it, but not with cinder, coals, or lime. <a href="/commentaries/leviticus/4-12.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>all כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every the rest of the bull— הַ֠פָּר (hap·pār) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6499.htm">Strong's 6499: </a> Young bull, steer he must take וְהוֹצִ֣יא (wə·hō·w·ṣî) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3318.htm">Strong's 3318: </a> To go, bring, out, direct and proxim outside מִח֨וּץ (mi·ḥūṣ) Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2351.htm">Strong's 2351: </a> Separate by a, wall, outside, outdoors the camp לַֽמַּחֲנֶ֜ה (lam·ma·ḥă·neh) Preposition-l, Article | Noun - common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4264.htm">Strong's 4264: </a> An encampment, an army to אֶל־ (’el-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_413.htm">Strong's 413: </a> Near, with, among, to a ceremonially clean טָהוֹר֙ (ṭā·hō·wr) Adjective - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2889.htm">Strong's 2889: </a> Clean, pure place, מָק֤וֹם (mā·qō·wm) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4725.htm">Strong's 4725: </a> A standing, a spot, a condition where אֶל־ (’el-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_413.htm">Strong's 413: </a> Near, with, among, to the ashes הַדֶּ֔שֶׁן (had·de·šen) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1880.htm">Strong's 1880: </a> The fat, fatness, abundance, the, ashes of sacrifices are poured out, שֶׁ֣פֶךְ (še·p̄eḵ) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8211.htm">Strong's 8211: </a> An emptying place, an ash-heap and he must burn וְשָׂרַ֥ף (wə·śā·rap̄) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8313.htm">Strong's 8313: </a> To be, on fire it on עַל־ (‘al-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against a wood עֵצִ֖ים (‘ê·ṣîm) Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6086.htm">Strong's 6086: </a> Tree, trees, wood fire בָּאֵ֑שׁ (bā·’êš) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_784.htm">Strong's 784: </a> A fire on עַל־ (‘al-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against the ash הַדֶּ֖שֶׁן (had·de·šen) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1880.htm">Strong's 1880: </a> The fat, fatness, abundance, the, ashes of sacrifices heap. שֶׁ֥פֶךְ (še·p̄eḵ) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8211.htm">Strong's 8211: </a> An emptying place, an ash-heap <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/leviticus/4-12.htm">Leviticus 4:12 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/leviticus/4-12.htm">Leviticus 4:12 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/leviticus/4-12.htm">Leviticus 4:12 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/leviticus/4-12.htm">Leviticus 4:12 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/leviticus/4-12.htm">Leviticus 4:12 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/leviticus/4-12.htm">Leviticus 4:12 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/leviticus/4-12.htm">Leviticus 4:12 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/leviticus/4-12.htm">Leviticus 4:12 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/leviticus/4-12.htm">Leviticus 4:12 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/leviticus/4-12.htm">Leviticus 4:12 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/leviticus/4-12.htm">OT Law: Leviticus 4:12 Even the whole bull shall he carry (Le Lv Lev.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/leviticus/4-11.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Leviticus 4:11"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Leviticus 4:11" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/leviticus/4-13.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Leviticus 4:13"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Leviticus 4:13" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
