Leviticus 14:20 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 14:20

And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat
offering upon the altar
The meat offering which belonged to that, and went along with it, even one tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil; but no mention being made of any meat offering with the other offerings already offered, the trespass offering and the sin offering; some say, as Aben Ezra observes, that the whole meat offering, consisting of three tenth deals of fine flour, was offered with the burnt offering, which must be a saving to the priest, if he only burnt one handful of it, as in other cases, the rest falling to his part: and the priest shall make an atonement for him;
these offerings still furthering of it, and sending to perfect it, and did complete it: and he shall be clean;
in a typical and ceremonial sense.
