5 ‎[1] AND AARON’S SONS SHALL CAUSE IT TO ASCEND IN FUMES. This is like His saying further on, *And the priest shall cause them to ascend in fumes*, for there He alludes to all those portions of the offering which are burnt on the altar, [hence He refers to them in the plural, while here He alludes to the offering as such, and therefore He speaks of it in the singular]. The interpretation [of the Rabbis] on it is as follows: “*And Aaron’s sons shall cause it to ascend*. *And the priest shall cause it to ascend*. *And the priest shall cause them to ascend*. Why are all these verses mentioned? *And Aaron’s sons shall cause it to ascend* — only if the offering is acceptable, but not if it has become disqualified. *And the priest shall cause it to ascend* — [this teaches] that he should not mix the fats of one offering with those of another [even though they are both of the flock]. *And the priest shall cause them to ascend* — [this teaches] that he should burn them all at one time.”
