Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 6:14-23

The meat-offering was either that which was offered by the people or that by the priests at their consecration. Now, I. As to the common meat-offering, 1. Only a handful of it was to be burnt upon the altar; all the rest was allowed to the priests for their food. The law of the burnt-offerings was such as imposed upon the priests a great deal of care and work, but allowed them little profit; for the flesh was wholly burnt, and the priests had nothing but the skin. But to make them amends the... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 6:24-30

We have here so much of the law of the sin-offering as did peculiarly concern the priests that offered it. As, 1. That it must be killed in the place where the burnt-offering was killed (Lev. 6:25), that is, on the north side of the altar (Lev. 1:11), which, some think typified the crucifying of Christ on mount Calvary, which was on the north side of Jerusalem. 2. That the priest who offered it for the sinner was (with his sons, or other priests, Lev. 6:29) to eat the flesh of it, after the... read more

And this is the law of the meat offering ,.... Or the rules to be observed concerning that, for which, though directions are given, Leviticus 2:1 , &c.; yet is here repeated with some additions to it: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the Lord ; being brought unto them by the children of Israel: before the altar ; or at the face of it, for what was properly offered was burnt upon it, as in the following verse Leviticus 6:15 , for it should be rather rendered "in", or... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 6:16

And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat ,.... What quantity of fine flour the meat offering consisted of is not said; very probably it was left to the offerer to bring what he would, since it was a freewill offering: with unleavened bread shall it be eaten in the holy place ; or rather, "unleavened shall it be eaten"; for it cannot well be thought that bread of any sort should be eaten with this offering, which, properly speaking, was itself a bread offering, and so it... read more

It shall not be baked with leaven ,.... Which, as it was a type of Christ, may denote his sincerity both in doctrine, life, and conversation; and as it may respect the offerer, may signify his uprightness and integrity, and his being devoid of hypocrisy and insincerity: I have given it unto thee for their portion of my offerings made by fire ; this was part of the provision made for the maintenance of the priests, as it was but just that they that ministered at the altar should live of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 6:18

All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it ,.... And they only, for none but they might eat in the holy place, and therefore these holy things that were to be eaten there, were only eaten by them; what might be eaten by the priests in their own houses, their wives and daughters ate of, but in the holy place only their males, and a male was one that was thirteen years of age: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations, concerning the offerings of the Lord made by... read more

This is the offering of Aaron and his sons ,.... That is, of such of them as succeeded him in the high priesthood, as appears from Leviticus 6:22 so Aben Ezra, of him, or of one of his sons in his room; though some think the common priests offered the following oblation at the time of their initiation into their office, though they were not anointed as the high priest was, nor obliged as he to continue the offering daily: which they shall offer unto the Lord in the day when he is... read more

In a pan it shall be made with oil ,.... With oil olive, as the Targum of Jonathan; the pan in which it was made was a vessel that had no covering, nor hollow in the middle, nor any lip or edge, but was a plane, and extended, and the dough made on it was hard and stiff, that it might not run off F18 Misn. Menachot, c. 5. sect. 8. & Maimon. & Bartenora in ib. Maimon. Maasch Hakorbanot, c. 13. sect. 7. . In the temple was a chamber of those that made the cakes F19 Misn.... read more
