But the hide of the bull
The Hebrew word for "hide" is "עֹור" (or), which refers to the skin or outer covering of the animal. In the context of Levitical sacrifices, the hide of the bull was not burned on the altar but was taken outside the camp. This act symbolizes the removal of sin from the community, as the bull represents the sin offering. The bull, a significant and valuable animal, underscores the seriousness of sin and the costliness of atonement. The hide, being the outermost layer, can also symbolize the external nature of sin that must be dealt with.

and all its flesh
The term "flesh" in Hebrew is "בָּשָׂר" (basar), which denotes the meat or body of the animal. In the sacrificial system, the flesh of the sin offering was not consumed by the priests, as was the case with other offerings. Instead, it was burned outside the camp, signifying the complete removal and destruction of sin. This act prefigures the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, who bore our sins outside the city gates, as described in Hebrews 13:11-12.

with its head and legs
The head and legs of the bull, mentioned specifically, indicate the totality of the offering. The head, representing leadership and authority, and the legs, symbolizing movement and action, together suggest that every aspect of the bull is involved in the sin offering. This comprehensive inclusion highlights the thoroughness required in dealing with sin, leaving no part untouched or unaddressed.

and its entrails
The Hebrew word for "entrails" is "קֶרֶב" (qereb), referring to the inner parts or organs. In the sacrificial context, the entrails often symbolize the innermost thoughts and intentions of a person. By including the entrails in the sin offering, the text emphasizes that atonement must reach the deepest parts of our being, purifying not just outward actions but also internal motives and desires.

and dung
The mention of "dung" (Hebrew: "פֶּרֶשׁ" peresh) underscores the impurity associated with sin. Dung, being waste material, represents the defilement and uncleanness that sin brings into the community. Its removal and burning outside the camp signify the need for purification and the complete eradication of sin's defiling effects. This act serves as a powerful reminder of the holiness required by God and the lengths to which He goes to cleanse His people.

(11) And the skin of the bullock.--Unlike other burnt offerings, the skins of which were taken off, and became the perquisite of the priests (Leviticus 7:8), this sin offering was not flayed at all, but was cut to pieces with its skin.
