They brought him
This phrase indicates the role of the priests and the community in the sacrificial process. The Hebrew root for "brought" is "qarab," which means to approach or bring near. This act of bringing the offering signifies the people's desire to draw near to God, acknowledging His holiness and their need for atonement. It reflects the communal aspect of worship, where the people and the priest work together to fulfill God's commandments.

the burnt offering
The Hebrew term for "burnt offering" is "olah," which means "that which goes up" or "ascent." This offering was entirely consumed by fire, symbolizing complete surrender and dedication to God. It represents the worshiper's total commitment and the desire for purification. Historically, the burnt offering was a central element of Israelite worship, emphasizing the need for atonement and reconciliation with God.

piece by piece
This phrase highlights the meticulous nature of the sacrificial process. Each part of the animal was handled with care, reflecting the importance of order and reverence in worship. The detailed division of the offering underscores the thoroughness required in approaching God, ensuring that every aspect of the sacrifice was acceptable and pleasing to Him.

including the head
The inclusion of the head in the offering signifies the completeness of the sacrifice. The head, being the seat of thought and decision, symbolizes the submission of one's intellect and will to God. In a broader sense, it represents the offering of one's entire being, acknowledging God's sovereignty over all aspects of life.

and he burned them on the altar
The act of burning the offering on the altar is central to the sacrificial ritual. The Hebrew word for "burned" is "qatar," which means to make smoke or incense. This burning transforms the physical offering into a pleasing aroma to the Lord, symbolizing the acceptance of the sacrifice. The altar, as a sacred space, serves as the meeting point between God and man, where the offering is consecrated and the worshiper is reconciled to God. This act of burning signifies purification, dedication, and the transformative power of God's presence.

(13) With the pieces thereof.--Literally, according to its pieces, or piece by piece, that is, after it had been cut up into the pieces as ordered in Leviticus 1:6, and as the burnt-offering offered by Moses was cut up (see Leviticus 8:20), his sons handed the dismembered victim to him piece by piece. The process of cutting up is not mentioned, because it is implied in the fact that the ritual on this occasion was exactly the same as in the offerings made by Moses.
