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 The fire on the altar shall be kept burning; it must not be extinguished. Every morning the priest is to add wood to the fire, arrange the burnt offering on it, and burn the fat portions of the peace offerings on it.

13 The fire shall be kept burning on the altar continually; it must not be extinguished.

14 Now this is the law of the grain offering: Aaron’s sons shall present it before the LORD in front of the altar.

15 The priest is to remove a handful of fine flour and olive oil, together with all the frankincense from the grain offering, and burn the memorial portion on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

16 Aaron and his sons are to eat the remainder. It must be eaten without leaven in a holy place; they are to eat it in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting.
