The priest
In the ancient Israelite context, the priest held a significant role as a mediator between God and the people. The Hebrew word for priest, "kohen," signifies one who is set apart for sacred duties. The priest's role was not only to perform rituals but also to teach the law and guide the community in spiritual matters. This highlights the importance of spiritual leadership and the responsibility of those who serve in ministry to act as intermediaries, bringing the concerns of the people before God and conveying God's will to the people.

shall burn them
The act of burning in sacrificial rituals symbolizes complete dedication and surrender to God. The Hebrew word "qatar" is used here, which means to make smoke or to offer incense. This act of burning signifies the transformation of the physical into the spiritual, as the offering ascends to God in the form of smoke. It is a reminder of the need for believers to offer themselves wholly to God, allowing their lives to be transformed and purified by His presence.

on the altar
The altar, or "mizbeach" in Hebrew, was a sacred place where sacrifices were made. It served as a physical representation of God's presence and a focal point for worship. The altar was a place of atonement, where the relationship between God and humanity was restored. In a broader sense, it symbolizes the need for a dedicated space in our lives where we can meet with God, offer our sacrifices of praise, and seek reconciliation with Him.

as an offering made by fire
The phrase "offering made by fire" emphasizes the element of divine acceptance. The Hebrew term "isheh" refers to a fire offering, which was a pleasing aroma to the Lord. This signifies that the offering, when made with a sincere heart, is acceptable and pleasing to God. It serves as a reminder that our worship and sacrifices should be genuine and heartfelt, aiming to please God rather than fulfill mere ritualistic obligations.

to the LORD
The use of "LORD" in all capital letters indicates the translation of the divine name "YHWH," the covenant name of God. This highlights the personal and relational aspect of God, who desires a covenant relationship with His people. The offerings were not just religious duties but acts of devotion to a personal God who is intimately involved in the lives of His people. It calls believers to recognize the personal nature of their relationship with God and to approach Him with reverence and love.

It is a guilt offering
The "guilt offering," or "asham" in Hebrew, was a specific type of sacrifice for atonement of unintentional sins or sins requiring restitution. It underscores the seriousness of sin and the need for atonement. This offering points to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who became the perfect guilt offering for humanity's sins. It serves as a powerful reminder of the grace and forgiveness available through Christ, encouraging believers to live in the freedom and redemption He provides.

(5) And the priest shall burn.--These fat pieces he shall burn, as in the case of the sin offering and peace offering (Leviticus 4:26; Leviticus 4:31).
