Leviticus 6:14

14 haec est lex sacrificii et libamentorum quae offerent filii Aaron coram Domino et coram altari

Leviticus 6:14 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 6:14

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 ) 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 "on the altar" F14; the face of it is the top of it, on which every sacrifice was offered, and not before it.

Leviticus 6:14 In-Context

12 ignis autem in altari semper ardebit quem nutriet sacerdos subiciens ligna mane per singulos dies et inposito holocausto desuper adolebit adipes pacificorum
13 ignis est iste perpetuus qui numquam deficiet in altari
14 haec est lex sacrificii et libamentorum quae offerent filii Aaron coram Domino et coram altari
15 tollet sacerdos pugillum similae quae conspersa est oleo et totum tus quod super similam positum est adolebitque illud in altari in monumentum odoris suavissimi Domino
16 reliquam autem partem similae comedet Aaron cum filiis suis absque fermento et comedet in loco sancto atrii tabernaculi
