EXPLANATION

Verse 5. He, by the hands of the priests, (Calmet. 10:1,) as the Septuagint express it, “they shall immolate;” ( Menochius.) though we might infer from this text, that the person who offered the victim, had to slay it; ( Calmet.) while the priests alone could pour the blood upon and around the altar. Without the effusion of blood remission is not made. Hebrews 9:22. Bible.
