and its hide and dung– Even the parts normally valuable (the hide) and the parts considered worthless (the dung) are added to the fire (compare Leviticus 8:17). – God leaves no room for holding back a “souvenir” of sin; everything associated with guilt is destroyed. – Paul echoes the idea by counting all earthly gain as “dung” in light of Christ’s worth (Philippians 3:8), showing that every residue of sin’s economy must go.
outside the camp– The burning happens “outside the camp,” away from Israel’s dwellings (Exodus 29:14; Leviticus 4:12). – This physical distance underlines moral separation: sin must be removed from God’s people. – Numbers 19:3 follows the same pattern for the red heifer, reinforcing the principle. – Hebrews 13:11-13 draws the connection to Jesus, who suffered “outside the gate” so that believers might be cleansed and brought near.
it is a sin offering– The bull carries the priests’ sins symbolically; its life is given in their place (Leviticus 4:20). – The term “sin offering” assures Israel that real, God-ordained atonement is being made (Leviticus 6:30). – Ultimately, Christ fulfills every sin offering: “God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf” (2 Corinthians 5:21), providing complete forgiveness.

The whole animal was reckoned too impure for any portion of it to be suitable for human food. His dung.--That which the intestines contained at the time of death. Verse 14. - The flesh... shalt thou burn with fire without the camp. Such was the rule with sin-offerings generally ( Leviticus 4:11, 12). The curse of sin which was on them, made them unfit for food and even unworthy of burial within the camp. On the symbolism of the burial, see Hebrews 13:11-13. His dung. That which the bowels contained at the time of death.
