Matthew Poole and continuators on Leviticus 1:16

16 And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers , and cast it beside the altar on the Eastpart ; by the place of the ashes .

Or, with its dung or filth, to wit contained in the crop and in the guts.

To wit, of the Tabernacle. Here the filth was cast▪ because this was the remotest place from the Holy of Holies, which was in the West-end, to teach us, that impure things and persons should not presume to approach to God, and that they should be banished from his presence.

The place where the ashes fell down and lay, whence they were afterwards removed without the camp. See Levit. 4. 12. and 6. 10, 11. and 8. 17.
