13 Il lavera avec de l'eau les entrailles et les jambes; et le sacrificateur sacrifiera le tout, et le brûlera sur l'autel. C'est un holocauste, un sacrifice consumé par le feu, d'une agréable odeur à l'Eternel.
The Bible, at times, pictures God as a consuming fire. The consuming of the animal communicates that the wrath of God is turned away from the worshipper, who is now free to enter into the Lord’s presence. To put it another way, God’s judgment against human sin was symbolized and the animal suffered in man's place. As the animal was being burned, the worshipper knew that his sacrifice had been accepted. To emphasize this, the passage says that the burnt offering was a pleasing aroma (rêªh nîḥôḥ) to God (see also Leviticus 2:12; Leviticus 3:16; Leviticus 8:21).
9 Il lavera avec de l'eau les entrailles et les jambes; et le sacrificateur brûlera le tout sur l'autel. C'est un holocauste, un sacrifice consumé par le feu, d'une agréable odeur à l'Eternel.
