“And all the meat offering that is baken in the oven, and all that is dressed in the fryingpan, and in the pan, shall be the priest’s that offereth it.”
Every grain offering baked in an oven or cooked in a pan or on a griddle belongs to the priest who offers it. The cooked grain offerings — all three preparation methods from Leviticus 2 — belong to the officiating priest. The priest who presents the grain offering on the altar keeps the remainder after the memorial portion is burned. The priestly provision from the grain offerings is the foundation for the priestly community's food supply: the daily grain offerings brought by the congregation sustain the priestly families who serve at the altar. 1 Corinthians 9:14 says the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel — Leviticus 7:9 is the foundational legislation behind that principle.
