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.

Leviticus 14:20 In-Context

18 The rest of the oil in his palm, the priest is to put on the head of the one to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before the LORD.
19 Then the priest is to sacrifice the sin offering and make atonement for the one to be cleansed from his uncleanness. After that, the priest shall slaughter the burnt offering
20 and offer it on the altar, with the grain offering, to make atonement for him, and he will be clean.
21 If, however, the person is poor and cannot afford these offerings, he is to take one male lamb as a guilt offering to be waved to make atonement for him, along with a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering, a log of olive oil,
22 and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, whichever he can afford, one to be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering.
