• {crop and feathers removed} there is a marked falling short of the complete idea of the burnt-offering where all rose up to God as a savor of rest. Poverty of faith has its effect now at any rate. (“The Offerings of Leviticus: 4. Burnt Offering” by W. Kelly)
• Part of the fowls was "cast away," and "into the place of the ashes." Weak faith does not undo the perfecting of the saints before God. (“The Offerings of Leviticus: 4. Burnt Offering” by W. Kelly)
• God sees all that are His according to Christ, His standard; but the weaker the faith, the more the believer mingles the sense of drawback because of his failures with the blessedness to which the Holy Spirit bears His testimony. Hence the distinctness of what the burnt-offering means is impaired, In the soul's apprehension it is made to approach an offering for sin. (“The Offerings of Leviticus: 4. Burnt Offering” by W. Kelly)
