16 'And the remnant of it do Aaron and his sons eat; 'with' unleavened things it is eaten, in the holy place, in the court of the tent of meeting they do eat it. 17 It is not baken 'with' any thing fermented, their portion I have given it, out of My fire-offerings; it 'is' most holy, like the sin-offering, and like the guilt-offering. 18 Every male among the sons of Aaron doth eat it—a statute age-during to your generations, out of the fire-offerings of Jehovah: all that cometh against them is holy.' 19 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 20 'This 'is' an offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they bring near to Jehovah in the day of his being anointed; a tenth of the ephah of flour 'for' a continual present, half of it in the morning, and half of it in the evening; 21 on a girdel with oil it is made—fried thou dost bring it in; baked pieces of the present thou dost bring near, a sweet fragrance to Jehovah. 22 'And the priest who is anointed in his stead, from among his sons, doth make it,—a statute age-during of Jehovah: it is completely perfumed; 23 and every present of a priest is a whole burnt-offering; it is not eaten.'

24 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 25 'Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, This 'is' a law of the sin-offering: in the place where the burnt-offering is slaughtered is the sin-offering slaughtered before Jehovah; it 'is' most holy. 26 'The priest who is making atonement with it doth eat it, in the holy place it is eaten, in the court of the tent of meeting;

Commentary on Leviticus 6:14-23

(Read Leviticus 6:14-23)

The law of the burnt-offerings put upon the priests a great deal of care and work; the flesh was wholly burnt, and the priests had nothing but the skin. But most of the meat-offering was their own. It is God's will that his ministers should be provided with what is needful.

Commentary on Leviticus 6:24-30

(Read Leviticus 6:24-30)

The blood of the sin-offering was to be washed out of the clothes on which it should happen to be sprinkled, which signified the regard we ought to have to the blood of Christ, not counting it a common thing. The vessel in which the flesh of the sin-offering was boiled must be broken, if it were an earthen one; but if a brazen one, well washed. This showed that the defilement was not wholly taken away by the offering; but the blood of Christ thoroughly cleanses from all sin. All these rules set forth the polluting nature of sin, and the removal of guilt from the sinner to the sacrifice. Behold and wonder at Christ's love, in that he was content to be made a sin-offering for us, and so to procure our pardon for continual sins and failings. He that knew no sin was made sin (that is, a sin-offering) for us, Romans 8:3.
