burnt.

Lev. 1:1‑17• ¹And Jehovah called to Moses and spoke to him out of the tent of meeting, saying,
²Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, When any man of you presenteth an offering to Jehovah, ye shall present your offering of the cattle, of the herd and of the flock.
³If his offering be a burnt-offering of the herd, he shall present it a male without blemish: at the entrance of the tent of meeting shall he present it, for his acceptance before Jehovah.
⁴And he shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt-offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
⁵And he shall slaughter the bullock before Jehovah; and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall present the blood and sprinkle the blood round about on the altar that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
⁶And he shall flay the burnt-offering, and cut it up into its pieces.
⁷And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay wood in order on the fire;
⁸and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat, in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar;
⁹but its inwards and its legs shall he wash in water; and the priest shall burn all on the altar, a burnt-offering, an offering by fire to Jehovah of a sweet odour.
¹⁰And if his offering be of the flock, of the sheep or of the goats, for a burnt-offering, he shall present it a male without blemish.
¹¹And he shall slaughter it on the side of the altar northward before Jehovah; and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood on the altar round about.
¹²And he shall cut it into its pieces, and its head, and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar;
¹³but the inwards and the legs shall he wash with water; and the priest shall present it all, and burn it on the altar: it is a burnt-offering, an offering by fire to Jehovah of a sweet odour.
¹⁴And if his offering to Jehovah be a burnt-offering of fowls, then he shall present his offering of turtle-doves, or of young pigeons.

• It is thus simply God's way generally from chaps. 7:17 to 8:19 inclusively. From a chap. 8:20 we have special relationship, and Jehovah is at once introduced with the strictest propriety. (“The Early Chapters of Genesis: Chapter 8:1-5” by W. Kelly)

• His first thought, on emerging with all entrusted to his care from the ark, was to own Jehovah and His grace sacrificially. This needed no fresh commandment. (“The Early Chapters of Genesis: Chapter 8:20-22” by W. Kelly)
