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 And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be put out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order on it; and he shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings.
13 A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out.
14 'This is the law of the grain offering: The sons of Aaron shall offer it on the altar before the Lord.
15 He shall take from it his handful of the fine flour of the grain offering, with its oil, and all the frankincense which is on the grain offering, and shall burn it on the altar for a sweet aroma, as a memorial to the Lord.
16 And the remainder of it Aaron and his sons shall eat; with unleavened bread it shall be eaten in a holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of meeting they shall eat it.
