Verse 9
This shall be thine of the most holy things ,.... For, as observed, there were some lighter and lesser holy things or sacrifices, and others superlatively so: and those are begun with, such as were
reserved from the fire ; those parts of sacrifices which were not burnt with fire on the altar of burnt offerings:
every oblation of theirs ; which is a general word, including various offerings, the particulars follow:
every meat offering of theirs : or bread offering, for they were made of fine flour and oil, and burnt on the altar, the remainder of which was eaten by Aaron and his sons, Leviticus 6:14 ,
every sin offering of theirs ; which was offered to make atonement for sin, which also belonged to the priests and their sons, excepting such whose blood was carried into the most holy place, Leviticus 6:25 ,
and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me ; which was offered for a trespass committed; what remained of this also, when burnt on the altar, was eaten by the priest and his sons, Leviticus 7:5 ; and this sacrifice was a ram, when a trespass was committed, either in the holy things of the Lord, or in wrongs done to men, Leviticus 5:15 ; Jarchi interprets it of an offering for a trespass committed by rapine or violence to a stranger: these, all of them, it is added:
shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons ; for their use, and for theirs only.
