What Does Leviticus 9:13 Mean?
Aaron's sons present the cut-up animal to Aaron—the head and all pieces. In the burnt offering, every part goes to the altar to be wholly consumed by fire. Nothing is reserved for the priest's meal; it is entirely God's.
The complete burning symbolizes complete self-surrender. The pieces represent the whole life offered without reservation. This is not a meal shared between God and man (like peace offerings), but an unqualified gift.
