Lev 4:12 — Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.
Phrase of Scripture   Correlating Passages TSK Help

without the camp   Heb. to without the camp. This was intended, figuratively, to express the enormity of this sin, and the availableness of the atonement. The sacrifice, as having the sin of the priest transferred from himself to it, by his confession and imposition of hands, was become unclean and abominable, and was carried, as it were, out of God's sight; and thus its own offensiveness was removed, with the sin of the person in whose behalf it was offered. Lev 13:46; Num 5:3; Num 15:35; Num 19:3
the ashes   Lev 6:10,11
burn him   Exd 29:14; Num 19:5; Hbr 13:11
where the ashes are poured out   Heb. at the pouring out of the ashes.
