Leviticus 2

1

And when any will offer a meat offering unto the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:

2

And he shall bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord:

1
3

And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire.

1
4

And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.

5

And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.

6

Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a meat offering.

7

And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in the fryingpan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.

1
8

And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto the Lord: and when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the altar.

1
9

And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.

2
10

And that which is left of the meat offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire.

11

No meat offering, which ye shall bring unto the Lord, shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the Lord made by fire.

12

As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto the Lord: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour.

13

And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.

14

And if thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the Lord, thou shalt offer for the meat offering of thy firstfruits green ears of corn dried by the fire, even corn beaten out of full ears.

15

And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meat offering.

16

And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the beaten corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto the Lord.

Leviticus 2:3

“And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire.”

Study Summary

The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the food offerings presented to the Lord. The priests receive the remainder of the grain offering as their food — the portion that was not burned as the memorial. The most holy designation of the priests' portion communicates the sacredness of what they eat: the food of the priestly community is consecrated food, most holy. 1 Corinthians 9:13 says those who work in the temple get their food from the temple — the principle of the Levitical grain offering, where the priests live from the altar's offerings, is the foundation for the apostle's argument that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.

Finding rest in God — Leviticus 2

God is faithful in every circumstance.. The Hebrew word used here carries a richness that English can't fully capture. Reading the Psalms alongside this gives a fuller picture of what the author was experiencing — both the anguish and the hope.. Their context of persecution gives these words a weight we often miss.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. There's something deeply comforting about knowing that the same God who spoke these words is the same yesterday, today, and forever.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. The contrast between human weakness and divine strength is so vivid in this passage. God is faithful in every circumstance.. I think this is a call to trust beyond what we can see. The Hebrew word used here carries a richness that English can't fully capture. God is faithful in every circumstance.. The imagery here is agricultural — the original audience would have immediately…
