Wesley: Lev 1:9 - But the inwards shall he wash

To signify the universal and perfect purity both of the inwards, or the heart, and of the legs, or ways or actions, which was in Christ, and which should be in all Christians. And he washed not only the parts now mentioned, but all the rest, the trunk of the body, and the shoulders.

Wesley: Lev 1:9 - A sweet savour

Not in itself, for so it rather caused a stink, but as it represented Christ's offering up himself to God as a sweet smelling savour.

JFB: Lev 1:9 - but his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water, &c.

This part of the ceremony was symbolical of the inward purity, and the holy walk, that became acceptable worshippers.

JFB: Lev 1:9 - a sweet savour unto the Lord

Is an expression of the offerer's piety, but especially as a sacrificial type of Christ.

Clarke: Lev 1:9 - An offering - of a sweet savor

An offering - of a sweet savor - אשה ריח ניחוח ishsheh reiach nichoach , a fire-offering, an odour of rest, or, as the Septuagint express it, θυσια οσμη ευωδιας, "a sacrifice for a sweet-smelling savor;"which place St. Paul had evidently in view when he wrote Eph 5:2 : "Christ hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering, και θυσιαν - εις οσμην ευωδιας, and a sacrifice, for a sweet-smelling savor,"where he uses the same terms as the Septuagint. Hence we find that the holocaust, or burnt-offering, typified the sacrifice and death of Christ for the sins of the world.

Poole: Lev 1:9 - His inwards and his legs shall he wash // The priest shall burn all // Of a sweet savour

His inwards and his legs shall he wash to signify the universal and perfect purity both of the inwards, or the heart, and of the legs, or ways, or actions, which was in Christ, and which should be in all Christians.

The priest shall burn all not only the parts now mentioned, but all the rest, the trunk of the body, and the shoulders, as is apparent from the practice or execution of these precepts.

Of a sweet savour not in itself, for so it rather caused a stink, but as it represented Christ’ s offering up himself to God as a sweet-smelling savour, Eph 5:2 ; and to admonish us of the excellent virtue of Divine institution, without which God values no worship, though never so glorious, and by which even the meanest things, are precious and acceptable to God.

Haydock: Lev 1:9 - Sweet // The law was our pedagogue, in Christ, that we might be justified by faith

Sweet. Not that the Deity can take delight in sweet odours; but he is pleased with the devotion of men. For their advancement in piety, he required these sacrifices; 1. to keep the people from idolatry; 2. to teach them to consecrate their body and effects to him, as well as their souls, to serve justice unto sanctification; (Romans vi. 19; John iv. 24) as without the help of exterior observances, the mind will hardly rise to the contemplation of truth; 3. to prefigure the greater mysteries of the Christian religion, of which the law was only a shadow, incapable of conferring justifying grace. (John i. 17; Galatians iii. 11.) (Worthington) ---

The law was our pedagogue, in Christ, that we might be justified by faith, ver. 24.

Gill: Lev 1:9 - But the inwards and his legs shall he wash in water // and the priest shall burn all on the altar // to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire // of a sweet savour unto the Lord

But the inwards and his legs shall he wash in water,.... This was first done in a room in the court of the temple, called לשכת המדחין, "the room of the washers", or the washing room, where they washed the inwards of the holy things ^a; and after that they washed them upon the marble tables between the pillars, where they washed them three times at least ^b; and whereas this is said to be done "in water"; Maimonides ^c observes,"not in wine, nor in a mixture of wine and water, nor in other liquids:''the washing of the inwards and legs denoted the internal purity of Christ's heart, and the external holiness of his life and conversation, and the saints' purification by him both in heart and life: with Philo the Jew ^d these things had a mystical meaning; by the washing of the inwards was signified that lusts were to be washed away, and such spots removed as were contracted by surfeiting and drunkenness, very harmful to the lives of men; and by the washing of the feet was signified that we should no more walk upon the earth, but mount up to the air, and pass through that, even to heaven:

and the priest shall burn all on the altar; all the other pieces, as well as the inwards and legs, excepting the skin, which denoted the painful sufferings of Christ, and the extent of them to all parts of his body; and indeed his soul felt the fire of divine wrath, and became an offering for sin:

to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire; that is, all the parts of the bullock were burnt on the altar, that it might appear to be a whole burnt offering consumed by fire:

of a sweet savour unto the Lord: he accepting of it, and smelling a sweet savour of rest in it, as an atonement for sin, typical of the sacrifice of Christ, which is to God for a sweet smelling savour, Eph 5:2 the Jewish doctors ^e gather from hence, that whether a man offers much or little, it matters not, if his heart is but directed to God; which Maimonides explains thus ^f, he that studies in the law, it is all one as if he offered a burnt offering, or a meat offering, or a sin offering, concerning which this phrase is used.
