Exodus 29:14 Summary
This verse, Exodus 29:14, is talking about a special sacrifice called a sin offering, where the flesh of a bull is burned outside the camp to show that sin is being removed from the community. This act is a reminder that sin is serious and needs to be dealt with, as seen in Leviticus 4:12. Just like the bull's flesh is burned away, our sins can be completely removed through faith in Jesus Christ (John 1:29, Romans 3:25). By understanding this concept, we can better appreciate the significance of sacrifice and the importance of living a holy life, as encouraged in 1 Peter 1:15-16.

The detailed instructions in Exodus 29:14 demonstrate the importance of obedience and attention to detail in our worship and service to God, as emphasized in Deuteronomy 12:32 and Revelation 22:18-19.

Gill's Exposition on Exodus 29:14
But the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung,.... The several parts and members of him, head, legs, feet, c. and the skin taken off of him, and the dung that comes from him.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 29:14
And thou shalt kill the bullock before the LORD, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 29:14
To wit, for the high priest, as is plain from the whole context, and therefore ought to be burnt by that law, Leviticus 4. There was indeed a law, that that sin-offering whose blood was not carried into the tabernacle, which was the case here, should not be burnt, but eaten, 10:18. But that concerned the people, not the priests, who did not eat, but burn their own sin-offerings, ,12.
Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 29:14
Exodus 29:14 But the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung, shalt thou burn with fire without the camp: it [is] a sin offering.Ver. 14. Without the camp.]
Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 29:14
(14) The flesh . . . shalt thou burn . . . with out the camp.—Comp. Leviticus 4:11-12; Leviticus 4:21; Hebrews 13:11-13. This was the general rule with sin offerings. The whole animal was reckoned too impure for any portion of it to be suitable for human food. His dung.—That which the intestines contained at the time of death.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Exodus 29:14
Verse 14. It is a sin-offering.] See Clarke on Genesis 4:7; "Genesis 13:13"; "Leviticus 7:1", &c.
Cambridge Bible on Exodus 29:14
14. When a sin-offering was offered for priests, or for the whole community, including the priests, its flesh was burnt (cf. Leviticus 4:11 f., 21, Exodus 9:11); when it was offered for laymen, the flesh was eaten by the priests (Leviticus 5:13; Leviticus 6:26). Though the priests are here treated as laity (see on v. 12), the flesh is to be burnt, because no proper priest is present to eat it (Di.). dung] better, for distinction, offal,—viz. that removed from the animals offered in sacrifice: Leviticus 4:11; Leviticus 8:17; Leviticus 16:27, Numbers 19:5, Malachi 2:3†. a sin offering] see on Leviticus 4.
