“It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it unto them for their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.”
It shall not be baked with yeast; I have given it as their share of the food offerings presented to me. Like the sin offering and the guilt offering, it is most holy. The grain offering eaten by the priests is most holy — the same designation as the sin offering and the guilt offering of Leviticus 2:3 and 5:13. What the priests eat in the courtyard is most holy food, and what they eat most holy food must be eaten in a most holy place. The designation communicates the sacredness of the priestly food provision: God has given the grain offering portions to the priests as their share, and what God gives bears His character — most holy.
