But the bull with its hide and its flesh and its intestines he burned up outside the camp, as the Lord had commanded Moses. The disposal of the ordination sin offering bull outside the camp follows exactly the prescription of Leviticus 4:12. The first application of the outside-the-camp disposal regulation confirms that the ordination ceremony follows the established procedures. Hebrews 13:12 cites this outside-the-camp burning as the type fulfilled by Jesus' crucifixion outside the city gate — the ordination of the priesthood and the crucifixion of the Son of God are connected through the same outside-the-camp disposal theology.
