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).

Leviticus 2:9 In-Context

7 Else if the sacrifice is taken of the griddle, evenly the [tried] wheat flour shall be sprinkled with oil; (Or if the offering is taken from the frying pan, the fine wheat flour shall be sprinkled with oil;)
8 the which wheat flour thou shalt offer to the Lord, and thou shalt betake it in(to) the hands of the priest. And when he hath offered it,
9 he shall take a memorial of the sacrifice, and he shall burn it on the altar, into odour of sweetness to the Lord. (he shall take a token of the offering, and he shall burn it on the altar, to make the sweetest aroma to the Lord.)
10 Soothly whatever thing is left, it shall be Aaron's and his sons, the holy of holy things of the offerings to the Lord (And whatever is left, it shall be for Aaron and his sons, a most holy, or sacred, thing, from the offerings to the Lord.)
11 Each offering which is offered to the Lord, shall be without sourdough, neither anything of sourdough, and of honey, shall be burnt in the sacrifice of the Lord. (Each offering which is offered to the Lord, shall be made without yeast, yea, nothing of yeast, or of honey, shall be burned as an offering to the Lord.)
