Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 6:17-18

Leviticus 6:17-18. It That part which remains to the priest; for the part offered to God seems not to have been baked at all.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 6:8-30

The law of the offerings (6:8-7:38)In the section known as ‘the law of the offerings’, the additional regulations were mainly for the benefit of the officiating priests. These regulations have already been dealt with in the discussion on the preceding chapters. Although the present chapters list the offerings in a slightly different order from the earlier chapters, the same five categories are dealt with: the burnt offering (6:8-13; see notes on 1:1-17), the cereal offering (6:14-23; see notes... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 6:14-18

The law of the meal offering for the priests 6:14-18God considered the meal, sin, and trespass offerings "most holy" (Leviticus 6:17; Leviticus 6:25; Leviticus 7:1; Leviticus 7:6). This means that they were sacrifices that only the priests could eat.The "layman who touched these most holy things became holy through the contact, so that henceforth he had to guard against defilement in the same manner as the sanctified priests (Leviticus 21:1-8), though without sharing the priestly rights and... read more
