But the bull
The bull, in the context of Leviticus, is a significant sacrificial animal. In Hebrew, the word for bull is "par," which often symbolizes strength and service. The bull was used in various offerings, particularly the sin offering, which is the context here. This animal's selection underscores the gravity of sin and the need for a substantial sacrifice to atone for it. Historically, bulls were valuable assets, representing a significant offering to God, indicating the seriousness with which the Israelites approached atonement.

with its hide, flesh, and dung
These components of the bull—its hide, flesh, and dung—represent the entirety of the animal. In Hebrew culture, the completeness of the sacrifice is crucial, symbolizing the totality of sin being dealt with. The hide and flesh are the external and internal parts, while the dung represents waste, all of which are to be removed from the camp. This act signifies the removal of impurity and sin from the community, emphasizing the holiness required by God.

he burned outside the camp
The burning of the bull outside the camp is a critical aspect of the sin offering. The Hebrew word for "burned" is "saraph," which means to consume by fire. This act of burning outside the camp signifies the removal of sin and impurity from the presence of the holy community. Archaeologically, this practice aligns with ancient Near Eastern customs of disposing of sacrificial remains, ensuring that what is unclean does not defile the sacred space. Spiritually, it points to the separation required between sin and holiness.

as the LORD had commanded Moses
This phrase underscores the divine authority and instruction behind the sacrificial system. The Hebrew word for "commanded" is "tsavah," indicating a direct order from God. Moses, as the mediator of God's covenant, faithfully executes these commands, highlighting the importance of obedience to divine law. This obedience is a recurring theme in Leviticus, reflecting the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where blessings are contingent upon adherence to God's statutes.

(17) But the bullock . . . he burnt . . . --Though none of the blood of this sin offering was brought into the sanctuary, whereby it became excluded from the rule laid down in Leviticus 6:30, yet the flesh was not allowed to be eaten, but like the sin offering of the high priest (Leviticus 4:3-12), and for the whole congregation (Leviticus 4:13-21), had to be burnt without the camp, since Moses could not eat it. because he was not a legally consecrated priest (see Leviticus 6:25), and the priest could not eat it because it was against the law for the sinner to partake of the sin offering which he brought himself. (See Leviticus 4:35.)
