He washed the entrails and the legs
This phrase highlights the meticulous care and attention to detail required in the sacrificial system. The Hebrew word for "washed" is "רָחַץ" (rachatz), which implies a thorough cleansing. This act of washing symbolizes purification and the removal of impurity, reflecting the holiness required in approaching God. The entrails and legs, representing the innermost and outermost parts of the animal, signify the need for both internal and external purity in worship. Historically, this practice underscores the Israelites' understanding of cleanliness as a prerequisite for holiness, a concept deeply embedded in the Levitical laws.

and burned them atop the burnt offering on the altar
The act of burning the entrails and legs "atop the burnt offering" signifies the complete dedication of the sacrifice to God. The Hebrew word for "burned" is "קָטַר" (qatar), which means to offer up in smoke, indicating a transformation from the physical to the spiritual realm. This burning on the altar represents the total surrender and consecration of the offering, symbolizing the worshiper's desire to be wholly consumed by devotion to God. The altar, a central element in Israelite worship, serves as a meeting point between the divine and human, where sacrifices are made to atone for sin and express gratitude. This practice reflects the historical and theological significance of the sacrificial system as a means of maintaining a covenant relationship with God, emphasizing the need for atonement and reconciliation.

(14) And burnt them upon the burnt offering.--That is, no special fire is to be kindled for it, but this burnt offering is to be put upon the top of the burning sin offering. (See Leviticus 4:35.)
