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.
