17 And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 17. But in such worship there is no parallelism and correspondence with the Lord; there is only a preparation for it through the power of faith and the acknowledgement of the Lord; and yet such worship is accepted by the Lord, and shall be consecrated to Him, the good of merit being therein distinguished from the good of love.
