Irwin8 the skin. Valuable for rugs or mattresses. Compare the record of what is probably the first sacrifice (Gen. iii. 21).

20 cut off from his people. i.e., “excommunicated.”
23. Ye shall eat, etc. Rather, “Ye shall not eat any fat of ox,” etc.; viz., not of the animals particularly mentioned: see on iii. 17. But the use of blood is in every case forbidden (Lev. iii. 17; xvii. 10, etc.).
