Leviticus 2:3

3 The rest of the grain offering will belong to Aaron and his sons. It is very holy, set apart from the LORD's offering by fire.

Leviticus 2:3 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 2:3

And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and
his sons'
Which not only shows the care taken by the Lord for the maintenance of the priests, from whence the apostle argues for the support of ministers of the Gospel, ( 1 Corinthians 9:13 1 Corinthians 9:14 ) but denotes that such who are made priests unto God by Christ, have a right to feed upon Christ the meat offering by faith; who is that altar and meat offering, which none but such have a right to eat of:

it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire;
some offerings with the Jews were only holy things, or, as they call them, "light" holy things, comparatively speaking; others were heavy holy things, or most holy; or, as it is in the original, "holiness of holiness", the most holy of all.

Leviticus 2:3 In-Context

1 [The LORD continued,] "Now, if any of you bring a grain offering to the LORD, your offering must be flour. Pour olive oil on it, and put incense on it.
2 Then bring it to Aaron's sons, the priests. Take from this a handful of flour with olive oil, and all the incense. The priest will burn it on the altar as a reminder. It is an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the LORD.
3 The rest of the grain offering will belong to Aaron and his sons. It is very holy, set apart from the LORD's offering by fire.
4 "If you bring a grain offering which has been baked in an oven, it must be rings of unleavened bread made of flour mixed with olive oil or wafers of unleavened bread brushed with olive oil.
5 If your grain offering is prepared in a frying pan, it, too, will be unleavened bread made of flour mixed with olive oil.
