Study note

Setting — Aaron and his sons execute the inaugural sanctuary rites, arranging the slaughtered animal on the altar immediately after splattering its blood.

The words — עֹלָה ('o.Lah) = burnt offering and נְתָחֶיהָ (n.ta.Chei./ha) = its pieces.

The thread — This procedural sequence mirrors the blood-splattering in Leviticus 9:12 and the entrail-and-leg burning in Leviticus 9:14, establishing a fixed ritual order.

Why it lands — The text demands recognition of the precise, unbroken sequence required to process the offering, leaving no part unaddressed before the fire consumes it.

Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.

King James Version

And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the head: and he burnt them upon the altar.
