Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Leviticus 1:5

_ _ he shall kill the bullock — The animal should be killed by the offerer, not by the priest, for it was not his duty in case of voluntary sacrifices; in later times, however, the office was generally performed by Levites.

_ _ before the Lord — on the spot where the hands had been laid upon the animal’s head, on the north side of the altar.

_ _ sprinkle the blood — This was to be done by the priests. The blood being considered the life, the effusion of it was the essential part of the sacrifice; and the sprinkling of it — the application of the atonement — made the person and services of the offerer acceptable to God. The skin having been stripped off, and the carcass cut up, the various pieces were disposed on the altar in the manner best calculated to facilitate their being consumed by the fire.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Leviticus 1:3-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Leviticus 1:5

And he — Either, the offerer, who is said to do it, namely, by the priest; for men are commonly said to do what they cause others to do, as John 4:1-2. the priest, as it follows, or the Levite, whose office this was. Shall sprinkle the blood — Which was done in a considerable quantity, and whereby was signified, That the offerer deserved to have his blood spilt in that manner. That the blood of Christ should be poured forth for sinners, and that this was the only mean of their reconciliation to God, and acceptance with him.
