If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to present an unblemished male. He must bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting for its acceptance before the LORD.
If a man were rich and could afford it, it is supposed that he would bring his burnt-sacrifice, with which he designed to honour God, out of his herd of larger cattle. He that considers that God is the best that is will resolve to give him the best he has, else he gives him not the glory due unto his name.
Commenting on Leviticus 1:3-9
If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd,.... So called, because consumed by fire, see Lev 6:9 even all of it except the skin, and therefore its name with the Greeks is "a whole burnt offering", as in Mar 12:33 its name in Hebrew is which comes from a word which signifies to "ascend" or "go up", because not only it was carried...
a burnt sacrifice--so called from its being wholly consumed on the altar; no part of it was eaten either by the priests or the offerer. It was designed to propitiate the anger of God incurred by original sin, or by particular transgressions; and its entire combustion indicated the self-dedication of the offerer--his whole nature--his body and soul--as necessary to form a sacrifice acceptable to God (Rom 12:1; Phi 1:20).
