But he burned up the flesh and the hide
In the Levitical sacrificial system, the burning of the flesh and hide of the sin offering was a significant act. The flesh and hide were not consumed on the altar but were burned outside the camp, signifying the removal of sin from the community. This act symbolizes the complete destruction of sin and impurity, aligning with the broader biblical theme of purification and holiness. The burning outside the camp also prefigures the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who was crucified outside the city of Jerusalem, bearing the sins of humanity (Hebrews 13:11-12).

outside the camp
The phrase "outside the camp" is crucial in understanding the separation between holiness and impurity. In the Israelite camp, the presence of God dwelled in the tabernacle, and anything unclean or sinful was to be removed from this holy space. This practice underscores the importance of maintaining purity within the community of God's people. Geographically, the camp refers to the encampment of the Israelites during their wilderness journey, a temporary but significant arrangement that emphasized God's presence among them. Historically, this practice set a precedent for the later Jewish understanding of sacred space and the need for atonement. Theologically, it points to the separation that sin causes between humanity and God, and the need for a mediator, ultimately fulfilled in Christ, who reconciles us to God by bearing our sins outside the "camp" of God's holy presence.

Teaching Points
Holiness and Separation
The burning of the flesh and hide outside the camp symbolizes the removal of sin and impurity from the community. As believers, we are called to separate ourselves from sin and pursue holiness in our lives.

The Seriousness of Sin
The detailed instructions for the sin offering highlight the seriousness with which God views sin. We should approach our own sin with the same gravity, seeking repentance and forgiveness through Christ.

Christ as the Ultimate Sacrifice
The sacrificial system points forward to Jesus, who was crucified outside the city, fulfilling the ultimate sin offering. We can find assurance in His complete atonement for our sins.

Community and Accountability
The communal aspect of the sacrifices reminds us of our responsibility to support and hold each other accountable in our spiritual journeys.

Obedience to God's Commands
Aaron's adherence to God's instructions serves as a model for our own obedience. We are called to follow God's Word faithfully in all aspects of our lives.(11) And the flesh and the hide he burnt.--The flesh and the hide, which, were ordinarily the perquisite of the officiating priest (see Leviticus 6:26), were on this occasion to be burnt, because the priest was not permitted to partake of the sin offering which he offered for himself. (See Leviticus 4:35.)
