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 ("And every¹ garment,ª and every¹ skin,ª whereon¹ ¹ is¹ the seedª of copulation,ª shall be washedª ° with water,ª and be uncleanª ° until¹ the even.ª" {Lev 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.
