Leviticus 2:9 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 2:9

And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial
thereof
That is, an handful of it; as of the fine flour, ( Leviticus 2:2 ) so of the pieces of that which was baked, whether in the oven, or pan, or fryingpan:

and shall burn it upon the altar;
the memorial or handful:

[it is] an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord;
(See Gill on Leviticus 1:9).
