Leviticus 2:9 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 2:9

And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial
thereof
That is, an handful of it; as of the fine flour, ( Leviticus 2:2 ) so of the pieces of that which was baked, whether in the oven, or pan, or fryingpan:

and shall burn it upon the altar;
the memorial or handful:

[it is] an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord;
(See Gill on Leviticus 1:9).

Leviticus 2:9 In-Context

7 And if thine offering be an oblation [prepared] in the cauldron, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.
8 And thou shalt bring the oblation that is made of these things to Jehovah; and it shall be presented to the priest, and he shall bring it to the altar.
9 And the priest shall take from the oblation a memorial thereof, and shall burn it on the altar, an offering by fire to Jehovah of a sweet odour.
10 And the remainder of the oblation [shall be] Aaron's and his sons': [it is] most holy of Jehovah's offerings by fire.
11 No oblation which ye shall present to Jehovah shall be made with leaven; for no leaven and no honey shall ye burn [in] any fire-offering to Jehovah.
