But burn the flesh of the bull
The Hebrew word for "burn" here is "שָׂרַף" (saraph), which implies a complete consumption by fire. This act of burning signifies purification and the removal of sin. The bull, a significant and valuable animal, represents the weight of sin and the cost of atonement. In the ancient Near Eastern context, bulls were often associated with strength and fertility, making their sacrifice a powerful symbol of surrendering one's strength to God.

and its hide and its dung
The inclusion of the "hide" and "dung" in the burning process emphasizes the totality of the offering. The hide, being the outer covering, symbolizes the external aspects of sin, while the dung, often considered waste, represents the filth and impurity of sin. This comprehensive burning underscores the thoroughness with which God desires to cleanse His people from sin.

outside the camp
The phrase "outside the camp" is significant in the Israelite community. The camp represented the dwelling place of God's people, a place of holiness and order. By taking the sin offering outside the camp, it symbolizes the removal of sin from the community, highlighting the separation between holiness and impurity. This act prefigures the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, who suffered outside the city gates to sanctify the people through His blood (Hebrews 13:12).

it is a sin offering
The term "sin offering" in Hebrew is "חַטָּאת" (chatta'ath), which refers to an offering made to atone for sin. This offering is not just a ritualistic act but a profound acknowledgment of human sinfulness and the need for divine forgiveness. The sin offering points to the seriousness of sin and the necessity of atonement, ultimately fulfilled in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who is the perfect and final sin offering for humanity.

(14) The flesh . . . shalt thou burn . . . with out the camp.--Comp. Leviticus 4:11-12; Leviticus 4:21; Hebrews 13:11-13. This was the general rule with sin offerings. The whole animal was reckoned too impure for any portion of it to be suitable for human food.

His dung.--That which the intestines contained at the time of death.

Verse 14. - The flesh... shalt thou burn with fire without the camp. Such was the rule with sin-offerings generally (Leviticus 4:11, 12). The curse of sin which was on them, made them unfit for food and even unworthy of burial within the camp. On the symbolism of the burial, see Hebrews 13:11-13. His dung. That which the bowels contained at the time of death.
