Leviticus 1:13

Leviticus 1:13

But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it  is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

a. ASV: But the inwards and the legs shall he wash with water. And the priest shall offer the whole, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.

b. YLT: And the inwards and the legs he doth wash with water, and the priest hath brought the whole near, and hath made perfume on the altar; it is a burnt-offering, a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah.

c. Amplified Bible Classic: But he shall wash the entrails and legs with water. The priest shall offer all of it and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a sweet and satisfying fragrance to the Lord.

d. Septuagint: And they shall wash the entrails and the feet with water, and the priest shall bring all the [parts] and put them on the altar: it is a burnt-offering, a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.

e. Stone Edition Torah/Prophets/Writings: He shall wash the innards and the feet in water; the Kohen shall bring it all and cause it to go up in smoke on the Altar--it is an elevation-offering, a fire-offering, a satisfying aroma to HASHEM.

1). 1). Here the duties switch to the one presenting the sacrifice. It is his responsibility to wash the inwards and the legs. This speaks to our obedience to the Scriptures.

b). ). Hebrews 10:19-22 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

10:20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the vail, that is to say, his flesh;

10:21 And having a high priest over the house of God;

10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
