And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the Lord thy God,.... And on that only, even the altar of burnt offering:
and the blood of thy sacrifices; one as well as another, not only of the burnt offerings, but of the sin offerings, trespass offerings, and peace offerings:
shall be poured out upon the altar of the Lord thy God: either sprinkled on it, or poured out at the bottom of it; see Leviticus 1:1,
and thou shalt eat the flesh; that is, of the peace offerings, for of them only might the people eat, and that only before the Lord.

The flesh - Excepting what shall be burned to God's, honour, and given to the priest according to his appointment.
