SCRIPTURE

"but the inwards and the legs shall he wash with water; and the priest shall offer the whole, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah." — Leviticus 1:13 (ASV)

But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water ,
&c.: As he did the bullock, (Leviticus 1:9) :

and the priest shall bring [it] all :
all the parts to the ascent of the altar, as the Jews F9 interpret it; all the parts and pieces of it, even the very wool on the sheep's head, and the hair on the goat's beard, their bones, sinews, and horns, and hoofs F11 , all were burnt, as it follows:

and burn [it] on the altar, it [is] a burnt offering, an offering
made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord ;
(See Gill on Leviticus 1:9).
