SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:12
finalmente, todo el novillo sacará fuera del campo, a un lugar limpio, donde se echan las cenizas, y lo quemará al fuego sobre la leña; en el lugar donde se echan las cenizas será quemado.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 4:12
Verse 12. Without the camp] This was intended figuratively to express the sinfulness of this sin, and the availableness of the atonement. The sacrifice, as having the sin of the priest transferred from himself to it by his confession and imposition of hands, was become unclean and abominable, and was carried, as it were, out of the Lord's sight; from the tabernacle and congregation it must be carried without the camp, and thus its own offensiveness was removed, and the sin of the person in whose behalf it was offered. The apostle (Heb. xiii. 11-13) applies this in the most pointed manner to Christ: "For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. Wherefore JESUS also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach."
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp , etc.] The Jewish writers interpret it without the three camps f97 , the camp of the tabernacle, the camp of the Levites, and the camp of the Israelites; when the temple was built, such sacrifices were carried and burnt without the city of Jerusalem; there were three places for burning; one was in the midst of the court, where they burnt such sacrifices as were unfit and rejected; the other was in the mountain of the house called Birah, where they burnt such as any accident befell them, after the carrying of them out of the court; and the third place was without Jerusalem, called the place of ashes f98 : this was typical of Christ being had out of the city of Jerusalem, and suffering without the gates of it, ( Hebrews 13:11,12): unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out ; the ashes of the burnt offerings. This, according to Ainsworth, answered to the place where Christ was crucified, being a place of skulls, or dead men’s ashes, ( John 19:17): and burn him on the wood with fire ; any wood might be used for the burning of it, even straw or stubble, which in the Hebrew language are called wood, as Gersom on the place observes, and so Maimonides f99 ; and it is added, “with fire”, as the last writer says f100 , to exclude lime and cinder coals: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt ; openly without; and seeing it is not said, that the priest shall carry forth the bullock, and shall burn it, it is concluded by Gersom on the place, that both may be done lawfully by a stranger, and so Maimonides f101 .
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-12 - Burnt-offerings, meat-offerings, and peace-offerings, had been offere before the giving of the law upon mount Sinai; and in these the patriarchs had respect to sin, to make atonement for it. But the Jew were now put into a way of making atonement for sin, more particularl by sacrifice, as a shadow of good things to come; yet the substance in Christ, and that one offering of himself, by which he put away sin. The sins for which the sin-offerings were appointed are supposed to be ope acts. They are supposed to be sins of commission, things which ough not to have been done. Omissions are sins, and must come into judgment yet what had been omitted at one time, might be done at another; but sin committed was past recall. They are supposed to be sins committe through ignorance. The law begins with the case of the anointed priest It is evident that God never had any infallible priest in his churc upon earth, when even the high priest was liable to fall into sins of ignorance. All pretensions to act without error are sure marks of Antichrist. The beast was to be carried without the camp, and ther burned to ashes. This was a sign of the duty of repentance, which is the putting away sin as a detestable thing, which our soul hates. The sin-offering is called sin. What they did to that, we must do to ou sins; the body of sin must be destroyed, Ro 6:6. The apostle applie the carrying this sacrifice without the camp to Christ, Heb 13:11-13.
