Leviticus 2:3 - Exposition

The remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons'. The meat offerings must have gone far to supply the priests with farinaceous food, as, for every handful of flour burnt on the altar, nearly a gallon went to the priests. They had to eat it within the precincts of the tabernacle, as was the case with all meats that were most holy, viz. the minchahs , the shew-bread, and the flesh of the sin offering and of the trespass offering ( Leviticus 10:12 ). Other meats assigned to the priests might be eaten in any clean place ( Leviticus 10:14 ). The priests' own meat offerings were wholly burnt ( Leviticus 6:23 ).
