Scripture focus

And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, [but] shall not divide [it] asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that [is] upon the fire: it [is] a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

Commentary on Leviticus 1:17

Theological / Devotional

A sweet savour. The birds were too small to divide, too small to sprinkle the blood in the same manner as in other offerings, too small to rest the hand on (see on v. 4); but they were, nevertheless, a sweet savor unto God. The offerer had little part in the ritual except to provide the bird. The priest did the rest. Even so, the offerer had done what he could, and this was pleasing and acceptable to God.
