Leviticus 1:6

Leviticus 1:6

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

He shall flay the burnt offering. The hide was given to the priest (). The whole of the remainder of the animal was consumed by the fire of the altar; none of it was eaten by the offerer and his friends as in the peace offerings, or even by the ministers of God as in the sin offerings; it was a whole burnt offering.

His pieces, into which it was to be cut, means the customary pieces.
