The wave offering was the portion of some sacrifices that was given to the priests for their portion. The significance of the Burnt offering was that the sacrifice, as it represented the life of the worshiper, ascended to God as a sweet smelling savor, pleasing to the Lord. This was the only sacrifice that represented the life of Jesus more than his death. His life was totally consecrated to God for His good pleasure. This was the declaration of God in the statement "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased." Likewise we are charged to be a living sacrifice pleasing to God as a sweet smelling savor. The reason it was the most important of all the sacrifices was because the greater the level of consecration in the life of the worshiper, the less the need for an atonement offering. This is confirmed by the Hebrew writer when he says that Jesus had not need to offer first for his own sin an then for the sins of others. Since his life was the perfect example of consecration he had no need to offer atonement on his own behalf. Yet, even in the burnt offering atonement is marginally represented. The level of atonement in any sacrifice was determined by where on the altar the blood was applied.

We all know that these offerings point to the Cross. But I believe each one pointed to a specific aspect of the Cross and how we live as Christians.
The sin offering almost has to be mentioned with the trespass offering. They both pertain to 1 John 1:9 and how the Christian needs to name and site their sins. This points to the finished work of Christ on the Cross.
The sin offering was all known sins(A-part of 1 John 1:9). And the trespass offering was all unknown sins(Cleanses us from ALL unrighteousness/b-part of 1 John 1:9)
The burnt offering speaks of propitiation or expiation and the emphasis was on the work of Christ, so blood was used. The food offering also spoke of propitiation but the emphasis was on the unique person of Christ so blood was not used.
The peace offering spoke of reconciliation and the work of Christ on the Cross, so blood was shed on the alter.
The thanksgiving offering celebrated the fact of reconciliation, or peace with God.

Honestly, I've spent something like five days just tackling The Nazirites section in Numbers. (Numbers 6:1-21.) Truthfully it has some interesting things in it. Never knew what Nazirites were. Used to think it was an earlier word for "Nazarenes." Once I figured out that's a thing approved by God, then had to do some study on who and why. And then once I hit on the whole "You got to offer a sacrifice simply because someone died near you?" part, I had to figure that one out too. This is where that lead to.
Really cool I got help figuring out the burnt offering part finally! Thank you!
So, can't say it was boring entirely, but, yeah, it was also boring too. I'm finally finished study those 21 verses. Tomorrow I'm on to the next five. No more homework (for now! lol)

the key thing about the burnt offering is that it was a -whole- burnt offering...unlike the sin offering where the priest got a portion to eat...or the peace offering where both the offerer and the priest shared the meal...the only thing left over from the burnt offering was the hide...
the symbolism is that you are giving your entire life to God...

The best way to understand the different offerings, their relation to one another, their purpose, and what they are a "shadow" of:
is to get into the chiastic structure of Leviticus, and take notes on what each level points to, and then what the grand-chia points to. (Not all translations make the chiastic structure identifiable, with the indents)
From my notes, there are 12 different offerings, each being one of 3 offering types. All point to Christ.
