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 priest will put whatever is left of the oil in his hand on the head of the person needing purification. In this way, the priest will make reconciliation for the person before the LORD.
19 The priest will then perform the purification offering and make reconciliation for the person needing purification from their uncleanness. After that, the entirely burned offering will be slaughtered.
20 The priest will offer up the entirely burned offering and the grain offering on the altar. In this way, the priest will make reconciliation for the person, and they will be clean again.
21 Now if the person is poor and cannot afford these things, they can bring one male sheep as a compensation offering, to be lifted up in order to make reconciliation for them; a grain offering of one-tenth of an ephah of choice flour mixed with oil; a log of oil;
22 and two turtledoves or two pigeons, whatever they can afford—one as a purification offering and the other as an entirely burned offering.
