Memorial - The regular name not only for the portion of the מנחה mı̂nchāh which was burned on the altar Lev 2:9, Lev 2:16; Lev 5:12; Lev 6:15; Num 5:26, but for the frankincense which was laid upon the showbread Lev 24:7. It is the word which is applied to the prayers and alms of Cornelius, Act 10:4. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| He shall take - That priest to whom he brought it, and who is appointed to offer it. The memorial - That part thus selected and offered; which is called a memorial, either to the offerer, who by offering this part is minded, that the whole of that he brought, and of all which he hath of that kind, is God's to whom this part was paid as an acknowledgment. Or to God, whom (to speak after the manner of men) this did put in mind of his gracious covenant and promises of favour, and acceptance of the offerer and his offering. A sweet savour unto the Lord - And so are our spiritual offerings, which are made by the fire of holy love, particularly that of almsgiving. With such sacrifices God is well - pleased. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| His handful of the flour - This was for a memorial, to put God in mind of his covenant with their fathers, and to recall to their mind his gracious conduct towards them and their ancestors. Mr. Ainsworth properly remarks, "that there was neither oil nor incense offered with the sin and jealousy offerings; because they were no offerings of memorial, but such as brought iniquities to remembrance, which were neither gracious nor sweet-smelling before the Lord." Num 5:15; Lev 5:11. In this case a handful only was burnt, the rest was reserved for the priest's use; but all the frankincense was burnt, because from it the priest could derive no advantage. |
