Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Leviticus 9:13

And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the head: and he burnt [them] upon the altar.

And they presented the burnt offering to him,…. After it was cut in pieces, as the ram of the burnt offering was by Moses, Le 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”.

(13) With the pieces thereof.Literally, according to its pieces, or piece by piece, that is, after it had been cut up into the pieces as ordered in Lev. 1:6, and as the burnt-offering offered by Moses was cut up (see Lev. 8:20), his sons handed the dismembered victim to him piece by piece. The process of cutting up is not mentioned, because it is implied in the fact that the ritual on this occasion was exactly the same as in the offerings made by Moses.

13. With the pieces “Piece by piece,” (R.V.) See Lev 1:8, and Lev 8:18-21, notes.

‘And they delivered the burnt-offering to him, piece by piece, and the head, and he burnt them on the altar.’

Then his sons handed him ‘piece by piece’ the parts of the sacrifice, including the head. It is clear that the task of skinning it and cutting it up had been left to them due to the necessities of the situation (Aaron could not do two things at once). Thus as each cut off a part they handed it to Aaron. This accurate and unusual description again confirms that we are reading the evidence of an eye-witness. And as he received each piece he laid it on the flames of the altar.
