Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
A meat offering - Better translated in Lev 2:4 an oblation of a meat offering קרבן qorbân, see Lev 1:2 מנחה mı̂nchāh. signifies literally a "gift"; and it appears to have been applied especially to what was given by an inferior to a superior Gen 32:18-20; Gen 43:11; Jdg 3:15; Sa1 10:27 : but in the technical language of the Law, it regularly denoted the vegetable offerings as distinguished from the animal offerings. Our translators have rendered it "meat-offering", applying the word "meat", according to old usage, as a general term for food. Vegetable-offering or meal-offering would be a more convenient rendering. The meaning of the מנחה mı̂nchāh appears to be much more simple than that of the animal sacrifices. The מנחה mı̂nchāh, as a sacrifice, was something surrendered to God, which was of the greatest value to man as a means of living. It might thus seem to be merely eucharistic. But it should not be overlooked that the grain had been modified, and made useful, by man's own labor. Hence, it has been supposed that the מנחה mı̂nchāh expressed a confession that all our good works are performed in God and are due to Him. The order in which the kinds of offering are named agrees with their development in order of time. The burnt-offering and the מנחה mı̂nchāh answer to the first two offerings on record Gen 4:3-4; Amo 5:22. Three kinds of מנחה mı̂nchāh are here mentioned; (1) Lev 2:1-3; (2) Lev 2:4-7; (3) Lev 2:14-16. Of each of them a small portion was burned on the altar "for a memorial," and the remainder was given to the priests. The offerings of flour belonged to the priests at large, but those of cakes and wafers to the officiating priests, Lev 7:9-10. Instructions to the priests are given in Lev 6:14-23. Fine flour - finely bolted flour of wheat. It was probably always presented in a bowl, compare Num 7:13. Oil - For the purpose of anointing and as food; in both senses a symbol of divine grace. Frankincense - See the Exo 30:34 note.

The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917]
fine flour The meal-offering. The fine flour speaks of the evenness and balance of the character of Christ; of that perfection in which no quality was in excess, none lacking; the fire, of His testing by suffering, even unto death; frankincense; the fragrance of His life Godward (see) (Exo 30:34) absence of leaven, His character as "the Truth" (see) (Exo 12:8) absence of honey; -- His was not that mere natural sweetness which may exist quite apart from grace; oil mingled, Christ as born of the Spirit (Mat 1:18-23) oil upon, Christ as baptized with the Spirit; (Joh 1:32); (Joh 6:27) the oven, the unseen sufferings of Christ -- His inner agonies; (Heb 2:18); (Mat 27:45-46) the pan, His more evident sufferings (for example) (Mat 27:27-31) salt, the pungency of the truth of God -- that which arrests the action of leaven.

Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78]
The first kind consisted of soleth, probably from סלה = סלל to swing, swung flour, like πάλη from πάλλω, i.e., fine flour; and for this no doubt wheaten flour was always used, even when חטּים is not added, as in Exo 29:2, to distinguish it from קמח, or ordinary meal (σεμίδαλις: Kg1 5:2). The suffix in קרבּנו (his offering) refers to נפשׁ, which is frequently construed as both masculine and feminine (Lev 4:2, Lev 4:27-28, Lev 2:1, etc.), or as masculine only (Num 31:28) in the sense of person, any one. "And let him pour oil upon it, and put incense thereon (or add incense to it)." This was not spread upon the flour, on which oil had been poured, but added in such a way, that it could be lifted from the minchah and burned upon the altar (Lev 2:2). The priest was then to take a handful of the gift that had been presented, and cause the azcarah of it to evaporate above (together with) all the incense. קמצו מלא: the filling of his closed hand, i.e., as much as he could hold with his hand full, not merely with three fingers, as the Rabbins affirm. Azcarah (from זכר, formed like אשׁמרה from שׁמר) is only applied to Jehovah's portion, which was burned upon the altar in the case of the meat-offering (Lev 2:9, Lev 2:16, and Lev 6:8), the sin-offering of flour (Lev 5:11), and the jealousy-offering (Num 5:26), and to the incense added to the shew-bread (Lev 24:7). It does not mean the prize portion, i.e., the portion offered for the glory of God, as De Dieu and Rosenmller maintain, still less the fragrance-offering (Ewald), but the memorial, or remembrance-portion, μνημόσυνον or ἀνάμνησις (Lev 24:7, lxx), memoriale (Vulg.), inasmuch as that part of the minchah which was placed upon the altar ascended in the smoke of the fire "on behalf of the giver, as a practical mememto ('remember me') to Jehovah:" though there is no necessity that we should trace the word to the Hiphil in consequence. The rest of the minchah was to belong to Aaron and his sons, i.e., to the priesthood, as a most holy thing of the firings of Jehovah. The term "most holy" is applied to all the sacrificial gifts that were consecrated to Jehovah, in this sense, that such portions as were not burned upon the altar were to be eaten by the priests alone in a holy place; the laity, and even such of the Levites as were not priests, being prohibited from partaking of them (see at Exo 26:33 and Exo 30:10). Thus the independent meat-offerings, which were not entirely consumed upon the altar (Lev 2:3, Lev 2:10, Lev 6:10; Lev 10:12), the sin-offerings and trespass-offerings, the flesh of which was not burned outside the camp (Lev 6:18, Lev 6:22; Lev 7:1, Lev 7:6; Lev 10:17; Lev 14:13; Num 18:9), the shew-bread (Lev 24:9), and even objects put under the ban and devoted to the Lord, whether men, cattle, or property of other kinds (Lev 27:28), as well as the holy incense (Exo 30:36), - in fact, all the holy sacrificial gifts, in which there was any fear lest a portion should be perverted to other objects, - were called most holy; whereas the burnt-offerings, the priestly meat-offerings (Lev 6:12-16) and other sacrifices, which were quite as holy, were not called most holy, because the command to burn them entirely precluded the possibility of their being devoted to any of the ordinary purposes of life.

Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65]
A meal - offering - (Not meat - offering, an ancient false print, which has run thro' many editions of our bible.) This was of two kinds, the one joined with other offerings, Num 15:4, Num 15:7, Num 15:10, which was prescribed, together with the measure or proportion of it: the other, of which this place speaks, was left to the offerer's good will both for the thing, and for the quantity. And the matter for this offering was things without life, as meal, corn, or cakes. Now this sort of sacrifices were appointed, because these are things of greatest necessity and benefit to man, and therefore it is meet that God should be served with them, and owned and praised as the giver of them. In condescension to the poor, that they might not want an offering for God, and to shew that God would accept even the meanest services, when offered with a sincere mind. These were necessary provisions for the feast which was to be presented to God, and for the use of the priests, who were to attend upon these holy ministrations. He shall pour oil - This may note the graces of the Holy Ghost, which are compared to oil, and anointing with it, Psa 45:7; Jo1 2:20, and which are necessary to make any offering acceptable to God. Frankincense - Manifestly designed Christ's satisfaction and intercession, which is compared to a sweet odour, Eph 5:2.

Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826
Meat-offering - מנחה minchah. For an explanation of this word see Clarke's note on Gen 4:3, and Lev. vii. Calmet has remarked that there are five kinds of the minchah mentioned in this chapter. 1. סלת soleth, simple flour or meal, Lev 2:1. 2. Cakes and wafers, or whatever was baked in the oven, Lev 2:4. 3. Cakes baked in the pan, Lev 2:5. 4. Cakes baked on the frying-pan, or probably, a gridiron, Lev 2:7. 5. Green ears of corn parched, Lev 2:14. All these were offered without honey or leaven, but accompanied with wine, oil, and frankincense. It is very likely that the minchah, in some or all of the above forms, was the earliest oblation offered to the Supreme Being, and probably was in use before sin entered into the world, and consequently before bloody sacrifices, or piacular victims, had been ordained. The minchah of green ears of corn dried by the fire, etc., was properly the gratitude-offering for a good seed time, and the prospect of a plentiful harvest. This appears to have been the offering brought by Cain, Gen 4:3; see Clarke's note Gen 4:3. The flour, whether of wheat, rice, barley, rye, or any other grain used for aliment, was in all likelihood equally proper; for in Num 5:15, we find the flour of barley, or barley meal, is called minchah. It is plain that in the institution of the minchah no animal was here included, though in other places it seems to include both kinds; but in general the minchah was not a bloody offering, nor used by way of atonement or expiation, but merely in a eucharistic way, expressing gratitude to God for the produce of the soil. It is such an offering as what is called natural religion might be reasonably expected to suggest: but alas! so far lost is man, that even thankfulness to God for the fruits of the earth must be taught by a Divine revelation; for in the heart of man even the seeds of gratitude are not found, till sown there by the hand of Divine grace. Offerings of different kinds of grain, flour, bread, fruits, etc., are the most ancient among the heathen nations; and even the people of God have had them from the beginning of the world. See this subject largely discussed on Exo 23:29 (note), where several examples are given. Ovid intimates that these gratitude-offerings originated with agriculture. "In the most ancient times men lived by rapine, hunting, etc., for the sword was considered to be more honorable than the plough; but when they sowed their fields, they dedicated the first-fruits of their harvest to Ceres, to whom the ancients attributed the art of agriculture, and to whom burnt-offerings of corn were made, according to immemorial usages." The passage to which I refer, and of which I have given the substance, is the following: - "Non habuit tellus doctos antiqua colonos: Lassabant agiles aspera bella viros. Plus erat in gladio quam curvo laudis aratro: Neglectus domino pauca ferebat ager. Farra tamen veteres jaciebant, farra metebant: Primitias Cereri farra resecta dabant. Usibus admoniti flammis torrenda dedere: Multaque peccato damna tulere suo." Fastor., lib. ii., ver. 515. Pliny observes that "Numa taught the Romans to offer fruits to the gods, and to make supplications before them, bringing salt cakes and parched corn; as grain in this state was deemed most wholesome." Numa instituit deos Fruge colere, et Mola Salsa supplicare, atque (ut auctor est Hemina) far torrere, quoniam tostum cibo salubrius esset - Hist. Nat. lib xviii., c. 2. And it is worthy of remark, that the ancient Romans considered "no grain as pure or proper for divine service that had not been previously parched." Id uno modo consecutum, statuendo non esse purum ad rem divinam nisi tostum - Ibid. God, says Calmet, requires nothing here which was not in common use for nourishment; but he commands that these things should be offered with such articles as might give them the most exquisite relish, such as salt, oil, and wine, and that the flour should be of the finest and purest kind. The ancients, according to Suidas, seem to have made much use or meal formed into a paste with milk, and sometimes with water. (See Suidas in Μαζα). The priests kept in the temples a certain mixture of flour mingled with oil and wine, which they called Ὑγιεια Hugieia or health, and which they used as a kind of amulet or charm against sickness; after they had finished their sacrifices, they generally threw some flour upon the fire, mingled with oil and wine, which they called θυληματα thulemata, and which, according to Theophrastus, was the ordinary sacrifice of the poor.

Meat-offering - מנחה minchah. For an explanation of this word see Clarke's note on Gen 4:3, and Lev. vii. Calmet has remarked that there are five kinds of the minchah mentioned in this chapter.

1. סלת soleth, simple flour or meal, Lev 2:1.

2. Cakes and wafers, or whatever was baked in the oven, Lev 2:4.

3. Cakes baked in the pan, Lev 2:5.

4. Cakes baked on the frying-pan, or probably, a gridiron, Lev 2:7.

5. Green ears of corn parched, Lev 2:14.

All these were offered without honey or leaven, but accompanied with wine, oil, and frankincense. It is very likely that the minchah, in some or all of the above forms, was the earliest oblation offered to the Supreme Being, and probably was in use before sin entered into the world, and consequently before bloody sacrifices, or piacular victims, had been ordained.

³⁴ And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Take [03947] unto thee sweet spices [05561], stacte [05198], and onycha [07827], and galbanum [02464]; these sweet [05561] spices [05561] with pure [02134] frankincense [03828]: of each [0905] shall there be a like [0905] weight:

¹³ And his offering [07133] was one [0259] silver [03701] charger [07086], the weight [04948] thereof was an hundred [03967] and thirty [07970] shekels, one [0259] silver [03701] bowl [04219] of seventy [07657] shekels [08255], after the shekel [08255] of the sanctuary [06944]; both [08147] of them were full [04392] of fine flour [05560] mingled [01101] with oil [08081] for a meat offering [04503]:

¹⁴ And this is the law [08451] of the meat offering [04503]: the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175] shall offer [07126] it before [06440] the LORD [03068], before [06440] the altar [04196].
¹⁵ And he shall take [07311] of it his handful [07062], of the flour [05560] of the meat offering [04503], and of the oil [08081] thereof, and all the frankincense [03828] which is upon the meat offering [04503], and shall burn [06999] it upon the altar [04196] for a sweet [05207] savour [07381], even the memorial [0234] of it, unto the LORD [03068].
¹⁶ And the remainder [03498] thereof shall Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] eat [0398]: with unleavened bread [04682] shall it be eaten [0398] in the holy [06918] place [04725]; in the court [02691] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] they shall eat [0398] it.
¹⁷ It shall not be baken [0644] with leaven [02557]. I have given [05414] it unto them for their portion [02506] of my offerings made by fire [0801]; it is most [06944] holy [06944], as is the sin offering [02403], and as the trespass offering [0817].
¹⁸ All the males [02145] among the children [01121] of Aaron [0175] shall eat [0398] of it. It shall be a statute [02706] for ever [05769] in your generations [01755] concerning the offerings [0801] of the LORD [03068] made by fire [0801]: every one that toucheth [05060] them shall be holy [06942].
¹⁹ And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559],
²⁰ This is the offering [07133] of Aaron [0175] and of his sons [01121], which they shall offer [07126] unto the LORD [03068] in the day [03117] when he is anointed [04886]; the tenth part [06224] of an ephah [0374] of fine flour [05560] for a meat offering [04503] perpetual [08548], half [04276] of it in the morning [01242], and half [04276] thereof at night [06153].
²¹ In a pan [04227] it shall be made [06213] with oil [08081]; and when it is baken [07246], thou shalt bring [0935] it in: and the baken [08601] pieces [06595] of the meat offering [04503] shalt thou offer [07126] for a sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto the LORD [03068].
²² And the priest [03548] of his sons [01121] that is anointed [04899] in his stead shall offer [06213] it: it is a statute [02706] for ever [05769] unto the LORD [03068]; it shall be wholly [03632] burnt [06999].
²³ For every meat offering [04503] for the priest [03548] shall be wholly burnt [03632]: it shall not be eaten [0398].

⁹ And all the meat offering [04503] that is baken [0644] in the oven [08574], and all that is dressed [06213] in the fryingpan [04802], and in the pan [04227], shall be the priest's [03548] that offereth [07126] it.
¹⁰ And every meat offering [04503], mingled [01101] with oil [08081], and dry [02720], shall all the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175] have, one [0376] as much as another [0251].

¹⁴ And if thou offer [07126] a meat offering [04503] of thy firstfruits [01061] unto the LORD [03068], thou shalt offer [07126] for the meat offering [04503] of thy firstfruits [01061] green ears [024] of corn dried [07033] by the fire [0784], even corn beaten [01643] out of full ears [03759].
¹⁵ And thou shalt put [05414] oil [08081] upon it, and lay [07760] frankincense [03828] thereon: it is a meat offering [04503].
¹⁶ And the priest [03548] shall burn [06999] the memorial [0234] of it, part of the beaten corn [01643] thereof, and part of the oil [08081] thereof, with all the frankincense [03828] thereof: it is an offering made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068].

⁴ And if thou bring [07126] an oblation [07133] of a meat offering [04503] baken [03989] in the oven [08574], it shall be unleavened [04682] cakes [02471] of fine flour [05560] mingled [01101] with oil [08081], or unleavened [04682] wafers [07550] anointed [04886] with oil [08081].
⁵ And if thy oblation [07133] be a meat offering [04503] baken in a pan [04227], it shall be of fine flour [05560] unleavened [04682], mingled [01101] with oil [08081].
⁶ Thou shalt part [06626] it in pieces [06595], and pour [03332] oil [08081] thereon: it is a meat offering [04503].
⁷ And if thy oblation [07133] be a meat offering [04503] baken in the fryingpan [04802], it shall be made [06213] of fine flour [05560] with oil [08081].

¹ And when any [05315] will offer [07126] a meat [04503] offering [07133] unto the LORD [03068], his offering [07133] shall be of fine flour [05560]; and he shall pour [03332] oil [08081] upon it, and put [05414] frankincense [03828] thereon:
² And he shall bring [0935] it to Aaron's [0175] sons [01121] the priests [03548]: and he shall take [07061] thereout [08033] his handful [07062] [04393] of the flour [05560] thereof, and of the oil [08081] thereof, with all the frankincense [03828] thereof; and the priest [03548] shall burn [06999] the memorial [0234] of it upon the altar [04196], to be an offering made by fire [0801], of a sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto the LORD [03068]:
³ And the remnant [03498] of the meat offering [04503] shall be Aaron's [0175] and his sons [01121]': it is a thing most [06944] holy [06944] of the offerings [0801] of the LORD [03068] made by fire [0801].

²² Though ye offer [05927] me burnt offerings [05930] and your meat offerings [04503], I will not accept [07521] them: neither will I regard [05027] the peace offerings [08002] of your fat beasts [04806].

³ And in process [07093] of time [03117] it came to pass, that Cain [07014] brought [0935] of the fruit [06529] of the ground [0127] an offering [04503] unto the LORD [03068].
⁴ And Abel [01893], he [01931] also brought [0935] of the firstlings [01062] of his flock [06629] and of the fat [02459] thereof. And the LORD [03068] had respect [08159] unto Abel [01893] and to his offering [04503]:

²⁷ But the children [01121] of Belial [01100] said [0559], How shall this man save [03467] us? And they despised [0959] him, and brought [0935] him no presents [04503]. But he held his peace [02790].

¹⁵ But when the children [01121] of Israel [03478] cried [02199] unto the LORD [03068], the LORD [03068] raised them up [06965] a deliverer [03467], Ehud [0164] the son [01121] of Gera [01617], a Benjamite [01145], a man [0376] lefthanded [0334] [03225]: and by him [03027] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] sent [07971] a present [04503] unto Eglon [05700] the king [04428] of Moab [04124].

¹¹ And their father [01] Israel [03478] said [0559] unto them, If it must be so now [0645], do [06213] this; take [03947] of the best fruits [02173] in the land [0776] in your vessels [03627], and carry down [03381] the man [0376] a present [04503], a little [04592] balm [06875], and a little [04592] honey [01706], spices [05219], and myrrh [03910], nuts [0992], and almonds [08247]:

¹⁸ Then thou shalt say [0559], They be thy servant [05650] Jacob's [03290]; it is a present [04503] sent [07971] unto my lord [0113] Esau [06215]: and, behold, also he is behind us [0310].
¹⁹ And so [01571] commanded he [06680] the second [08145], and the third [07992], and all that followed [01980] [0310] the droves [05739], saying [0559], On this manner [01697] shall ye speak [01696] unto Esau [06215], when ye find [04672] him.
²⁰ And say ye [0559] moreover [01571], Behold, thy servant [05650] Jacob [03290] is behind us [0310]. For he said [0559], I will appease [03722] him [06440] with the present [04503] that goeth [01980] before me [06440], and afterward [0310] I will see [07200] his face [06440]; peradventure he will accept [05375] of me [06440].

² Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, If any man [0120] of you bring [07126] an offering [07133] unto the LORD [03068], ye shall bring [07126] your offering [07133] of the cattle [0929], even of the herd [01241], and of the flock [06629].

²⁷ Then [5119] the soldiers [4757] of the governor [2232] took [3880] Jesus [2424] into [1519] the common hall [4232], and gathered [4863] unto [1909] him [846] the whole [3650] band [4686] of soldiers.
²⁸ And [2532] they stripped [1562] him [846], and put on [4060] him [846] a scarlet [2847] robe [5511].
²⁹ And [2532] when they had platted [4120] a crown [4735] of [1537] thorns [173], they put [2007] it upon [1909] his [846] head [2776], and [2532] a reed [2563] in [1909] his [846] right hand [1188]: and [2532] they bowed the knee [1120] before [1715] him [846], and mocked [1702] him [846], saying [3004], Hail [5463], King [935] of the Jews [2453]!
³⁰ And [2532] they spit [1716] upon [1519] him [846], and took [2983] the reed [2563], and [2532] smote [5180] him [846] on [1519] the head [2776].
³¹ And [2532] after [3753] that they had mocked [1702] him [846], they took [1562] the robe [5511] off [1562] from him [846], and [2532] put [1746] his own [846] raiment [2440] on [1746] him [846], and [2532] led [520] him [846] away [520] to [1519] crucify [4717] him.

⁴⁵ Now [1161] from [575] the sixth [1623] hour [5610] there was [1096] darkness [4655] over [1909] all [3956] the land [1093] unto [2193] the ninth [1766] hour [5610].
⁴⁶ And [1161] about [4012] the ninth [1766] hour [5610] Jesus [2424] cried [310] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], saying [3004], Eli [2241], Eli [2241], lama [2982] sabachthani [4518]? that [5123] is to say, My [3450] God [2316], my [3450] God [2316], why [2444] hast thou forsaken [1459] me [3165]?

¹⁸ For [1063] in [1722] that [3739] he [3958] himself [846] hath suffered [3958] being tempted [3985], he is able [1410] to succour [997] them that are tempted [3985].

²⁷ Labour [2038] not [3361] for the meat [1035] which [3588] perisheth [622], but [235] for that meat [1035] which [3588] endureth [3306] unto [1519] everlasting [166] life [2222], which [3739] the Son [5207] of man [444] shall give [1325] unto you [5213]: for [1063] him [5126] hath [4972] God [2316] the Father [3962] sealed [4972].

³² And [2532] John [2491] bare record [3140], saying [3004], [3754] I saw [2300] the Spirit [4151] descending [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772] like [5616] a dove [4058], and [2532] it abode [3306] upon [1909] him [846].

¹⁸ Now [1161] the birth [1083] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] was [2258] on this wise [3779]: When as [1063] his [846] mother [3384] Mary [3137] was espoused [3423] to Joseph [2501], before [4250] [2228] they [846] came together [4905], she was found [2147] with child [1722] [1064] [2192] of [1537] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151].
¹⁹ Then [1161] Joseph [2501] her [846] husband [435], being [5607] a just [1342] man, and [2532] not [3361] willing [2309] to make [3856] her [846] a publick example [3856], was minded [1014] to put [630] her [846] away [630] privily [2977].
²⁰ But [1161] while he [846] thought on [1760] these things [5023], behold [2400], the angel [32] of the Lord [2962] appeared [5316] unto him [846] in [2596] a dream [3677], saying [3004], Joseph [2501], thou son [5207] of David [1138], fear [5399] not [3361] to take [3880] unto thee [4675] Mary [3137] thy wife [1135]: for [1063] that which is conceived [1080] in [1722] her [846] is [2076] of [1537] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151].
²¹ And [1161] she shall bring forth [5088] a son [5207], and [2532] thou shalt call [2564] his [846] name [3686] JESUS [2424]: for [1063] he [846] shall save [4982] his [846] people [2992] from [575] their [846] sins [266].
²² Now [1161] all [3650] this [5124] was done [1096], that [2443] it might be fulfilled [4137] which [3588] was spoken [4483] of [5259] the Lord [2962] by [1223] the prophet [4396], saying [3004],
²³ Behold [2400], a virgin [3933] shall be with child [1722] [1064] [2192], and [2532] shall bring forth [5088] a son [5207], and [2532] they shall call [2564] his [846] name [3686] Emmanuel [1694], which [3739] being interpreted [3177] is [2076], God [2316] with [3326] us [2257].

⁸ And they shall eat [0398] the flesh [01320] in that night [03915], roast [06748] with fire [0784], and unleavened bread [04682]; and with bitter [04844] herbs they shall eat [0398] it.

¹² And the fire [0784] upon the altar [04196] shall be burning [03344] in it; it shall not be put out [03518]: and the priest [03548] shall burn [01197] wood [06086] on it every morning [01242], and lay the burnt offering [05930] in order [06186] upon it; and he shall burn [06999] thereon the fat [02459] of the peace offerings [08002].
¹³ The fire [0784] shall ever [08548] be burning [03344] upon the altar [04196]; it shall never go out [03518].
¹⁴ And this is the law [08451] of the meat offering [04503]: the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175] shall offer [07126] it before [06440] the LORD [03068], before [06440] the altar [04196].
¹⁵ And he shall take [07311] of it his handful [07062], of the flour [05560] of the meat offering [04503], and of the oil [08081] thereof, and all the frankincense [03828] which is upon the meat offering [04503], and shall burn [06999] it upon the altar [04196] for a sweet [05207] savour [07381], even the memorial [0234] of it, unto the LORD [03068].
¹⁶ And the remainder [03498] thereof shall Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] eat [0398]: with unleavened bread [04682] shall it be eaten [0398] in the holy [06918] place [04725]; in the court [02691] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] they shall eat [0398] it.

³⁶ And thou shalt beat [07833] some of it very small [01854], and put [05414] of it before [06440] the testimony [05715] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], where I will meet [03259] with thee: it shall be unto you most [06944] holy [06944].

²⁸ Notwithstanding no devoted thing [02764], that a man [0376] shall devote [02763] unto the LORD [03068] of all that he hath, both of man [0120] and beast [0929], and of the field [07704] of his possession [0272], shall be sold [04376] or redeemed [01350]: every devoted thing [02764] is most [06944] holy [06944] unto the LORD [03068].

⁹ And it shall be Aaron's [0175] and his sons [01121]'; and they shall eat [0398] it in the holy [06918] place [04725]: for it is most [06944] holy [06944] unto him of the offerings [0801] of the LORD [03068] made by fire [0801] by a perpetual [05769] statute [02706].

⁹ This shall be thine of the most [06944] holy things [06944], reserved from the fire [0784]: every oblation [07133] of theirs, every meat offering [04503] of theirs, and every sin offering [02403] of theirs, and every trespass offering [0817] of theirs, which they shall render [07725] unto me, shall be most [06944] holy [06944] for thee and for thy sons [01121].

¹³ And he shall slay [07819] the lamb [03532] in the place [04725] where he shall kill [07819] the sin offering [02403] and the burnt offering [05930], in the holy [06944] place [04725]: for as the sin offering [02403] is the priest's [03548], so is the trespass offering [0817]: it is most [06944] holy [06944]:

¹⁷ Wherefore have ye not eaten [0398] the sin offering [02403] in the holy [06944] place [04725], seeing it is most [06944] holy [06944], and God hath given [05414] it you to bear [05375] the iniquity [05771] of the congregation [05712], to make atonement [03722] for them before [06440] the LORD [03068]?

⁶ Every male [02145] among the priests [03548] shall eat [0398] thereof: it shall be eaten [0398] in the holy [06918] place [04725]: it is most [06944] holy [06944].

¹ Likewise this is the law [08451] of the trespass offering [0817]: it is most [06944] holy [06944].

²² And the priest [03548] of his sons [01121] that is anointed [04899] in his stead shall offer [06213] it: it is a statute [02706] for ever [05769] unto the LORD [03068]; it shall be wholly [03632] burnt [06999].

¹⁸ All the males [02145] among the children [01121] of Aaron [0175] shall eat [0398] of it. It shall be a statute [02706] for ever [05769] in your generations [01755] concerning the offerings [0801] of the LORD [03068] made by fire [0801]: every one that toucheth [05060] them shall be holy [06942].

¹² And Moses [04872] spake [01696] unto Aaron [0175], and unto Eleazar [0499] and unto Ithamar [0385], his sons [01121] that were left [03498], Take [03947] the meat offering [04503] that remaineth [03498] of the offerings [0801] of the LORD [03068] made by fire [0801], and eat [0398] it without leaven [04682] beside [0681] the altar [04196]: for it is most [06944] holy [06944]:

¹⁰ And the priest [03548] shall put [03847] on his linen [0906] garment [04055], and his linen [0906] breeches [04370] shall he put [03847] upon his flesh [01320], and take up [07311] the ashes [01880] which the fire [0784] hath consumed [0398] with the burnt offering [05930] on the altar [04196], and he shall put [07760] them beside [0681] the altar [04196].

¹⁰ And that which is left [03498] of the meat offering [04503] shall be Aaron's [0175] and his sons [01121]': it is a thing most [06944] holy [06944] of the offerings [0801] of the LORD [03068] made by fire [0801].

³ And the remnant [03498] of the meat offering [04503] shall be Aaron's [0175] and his sons [01121]': it is a thing most [06944] holy [06944] of the offerings [0801] of the LORD [03068] made by fire [0801].

¹⁰ And Aaron [0175] shall make an atonement [03722] upon the horns [07161] of it once [0259] in a year [08141] with the blood [01818] of the sin offering [02403] of atonements [03725]: once [0259] in the year [08141] shall he make atonement [03722] upon it throughout your generations [01755]: it is most [06944] holy [06944] unto the LORD [03068].

³³ And thou shalt hang up [05414] the vail [06532] under the taches [07165], that thou mayest bring [0935] in thither within [01004] the vail [06532] the ark [0727] of the testimony [05715]: and the vail [06532] shall divide [0914] unto you between the holy [06944] place and the most [06944] holy [06944].

⁷ And thou shalt put [05414] pure [02134] frankincense [03828] upon each row [04635], that it may be on the bread [03899] for a memorial [0234], even an offering made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068].

²⁶ And the priest [03548] shall take an handful [07061] of the offering [04503], even the memorial [0234] thereof, and burn [06999] it upon the altar [04196], and afterward [0310] shall cause the woman [0802] to drink [08248] the water [04325].

¹¹ But if he [03027] be not able to bring [05381] two [08147] turtledoves [08449], or two [08147] young [01121] pigeons [03123], then he that sinned [02398] shall bring [0935] for his offering [07133] the tenth [06224] part of an ephah [0374] of fine flour [05560] for a sin offering [02403]; he shall put [07760] no oil [08081] upon it, neither shall he put [05414] any frankincense [03828] thereon: for it is a sin offering [02403].

⁸ And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559],

¹⁶ And the priest [03548] shall burn [06999] the memorial [0234] of it, part of the beaten corn [01643] thereof, and part of the oil [08081] thereof, with all the frankincense [03828] thereof: it is an offering made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068].

⁹ And the priest [03548] shall take [07311] from the meat offering [04503] a memorial [0234] thereof, and shall burn [06999] it upon the altar [04196]: it is an offering made by fire [0801], of a sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto the LORD [03068].

² And he shall bring [0935] it to Aaron's [0175] sons [01121] the priests [03548]: and he shall take [07061] thereout [08033] his handful [07062] [04393] of the flour [05560] thereof, and of the oil [08081] thereof, with all the frankincense [03828] thereof; and the priest [03548] shall burn [06999] the memorial [0234] of it upon the altar [04196], to be an offering made by fire [0801], of a sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto the LORD [03068]:

²⁸ And levy [07311] a tribute [04371] unto the LORD [03068] of the men [0582] of war [04421] which went out [03318] to battle [06635]: one [0259] soul [05315] of five [02568] hundred [03967], both of the persons [0120], and of the beeves [01241], and of the asses [02543], and of the sheep [06629]:

²⁷ And if any [0259] one [05315] of the common [0776] people [05971] sin [02398] through ignorance [07684], while he doeth [06213] somewhat against any [0259] of the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068] concerning things which ought not to be done [06213], and be guilty [0816];
²⁸ Or if his sin [02403], which he hath sinned [02398], come to his knowledge [03045]: then he shall bring [0935] his offering [07133], a kid [08166] of the goats [05795], a female [05347] without blemish [08549], for his sin [02403] which he hath sinned [02398].

² Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], If a soul [05315] shall sin [02398] through ignorance [07684] against any of the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068] concerning things which ought not to be done [06213], and shall do [06213] against any [0259] of them [02007]:

² And Solomon [08010] sent [07971] to Hiram [02438], saying [0559],

² And unleavened [04682] bread [03899], and cakes [02471] unleavened [04682] tempered [01101] with oil [08081], and wafers [07550] unleavened [04682] anointed [04886] with oil [08081]: of wheaten [02406] flour [05560] shalt thou make [06213] them.

² And [2532] walk [4043] in [1722] love [26], as [2531] Christ [5547] also [2532] hath loved [25] us [2248], and [2532] hath given [3860] himself [1438] for [5228] us [2257] an offering [4376] and [2532] a sacrifice [2378] to God [2316] for [1519] a sweetsmelling [2175] savour [3744].

²⁰ But [2532] ye [5210] have [2192] an unction [5545] from [575] the Holy One [40], and [2532] ye know [1492] all things [3956].

⁷ Thou lovest [0157] righteousness [06664], and hatest [08130] wickedness [07562]: therefore God [0430], thy God [0430], hath anointed [04886] thee with the oil [08081] of gladness [08342] above thy fellows [02270].

¹⁰ And thou shalt bring [07126] for a drink offering [05262] half [02677] an hin [01969] of wine [03196], for an offering made by fire [0801], of a sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto the LORD [03068].

⁷ And for a drink offering [05262] thou shalt offer [07126] the third [07992] part of an hin [01969] of wine [03196], for a sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto the LORD [03068].

⁴ Then shall he that offereth [07126] his offering [07133] unto the LORD [03068] bring [07126] a meat offering [04503] of a tenth deal [06241] of flour [05560] mingled [01101] with the fourth [07243] part of an hin [01969] of oil [08081].

²⁹ I will not drive them out [01644] from before [06440] thee in one [0259] year [08141]; lest the land [0776] become desolate [08077], and the beast [02416] of the field [07704] multiply [07227] against thee.
