* even the priest.
   All the flesh of the burnt offerings being consumed upon the
   altar, as well as the fat, there could nothing fall to the
   share of the priest but the skin; which must have been very
   valuable, as they were used as mattresses (ch. 15:17,) or as
   carpets to sit upon in the day.  They are still used for the
   same purpose by some of the inhabitants and dervishes of the
   East.  Bishop Patrick remarks, that Adam himself offered the
   first sacrifice, and had the skin given him by God, to make
   garments for him and his wife; in conformity with which, the
   priests ever after had the skin of the whole burnt offerings
   for their portion.
