wholly burnt] The offering being made by the Priest and for the Priest, his own service was a debt, and so he was to have nothing for it; but when he offered for the people, he was for a recompence of his service to have a portion of the sacrifice; see vers. 26. of this Chapter. Or else because he was a sinner and could make no atonement for himselfe, therefore his meatoffering was wholly burnt, not eaten, to teach him to looke for salvation by Christ.
