Leviticus 4:12
Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt. Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.
When the sin offering was presented for a priest or for the whole congregation, the body of the victim was carried outside the camp to be burned. Its blood was taken into the holy place. Its fat was burned on the altar in the courtyard.
The sin offerings of this chapter belonged to the required returns that God claimed from Israel. They remain an example of what is required of Christians in proportion to the means entrusted to them. The Levitical system was marked by the consecration of property, with God's claims kept foremost in almost everything, so the tithe alone was not the standard of Israel's contributions. Sin offerings stood alongside trespass offerings, sacrificial offerings, ransom for the firstborn, firstfruits of flocks and harvest, gleanings and field corners left for the poor, the spontaneous produce of the land every seventh year, release of debts every seventh year, hospitalities, gifts to the poor, assessments on property, and special freewill offerings such as those for the tabernacle in the wilderness and the temple at Jerusalem. The regular systematic gifts together with special calls cost the conscientious about one-third of their income, were required of everyone in proportion to what was possessed, and were imposed for the people's own good as well as to sustain God's service.
