“And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:”
You are to cut it into pieces, and the priest shall arrange them, including the head and the fat, on the wood that is burning on the altar. The cutting and arrangement of the flock animal's pieces follows the same procedure as the bull offering of verses 6–8. The head and the fat — the extremity and the richness of the animal — are specifically arranged on the altar fire. Romans 12:1 says present your bodies as a living sacrifice — the arranged pieces on the altar fire are the physical form of the total self-presentation that Paul calls the reasonable act of worship.
