And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
The heifer was to be burned completely in the sight of the one officiating, with nothing withheld from the fire. Its skin and its flesh were to be consumed together with its blood and even its dung. This total burning signified a full and complete sacrifice, ample in every part. The heifer and the offering of it represent Christ and the sacrifice He made.
The burning produced ashes that were kept and used in the ceremony appointed for purification from sin. In this Christ's suffering and the shedding of His blood are set forth as that which purifies sinners and redeems them from sin.
