An Orderly Sacrifice
Commentators explain that after the blood was sprinkled, the animal was skinned (flayed) and carefully cut into its proper pieces, not just hacked apart. This task was performed by the offerer or the priests. The skin itself was given to the officiating priest as his portion, a detail mentioned in Leviticus 7:8. This highlights the deliberate and orderly nature of the worship God prescribed.
