THE MESSAGE
"These are the instructions for the Grain-Offering. Aaron's sons are to present it to God in front of the Altar. The priest takes a handful of the fine flour of the Grain-Offering with its oil and all its incense and burns this as a memorial on the Altar, a pleasing fragrance to God . Aaron and his sons eat the rest of it. It is unraised bread and so eaten in a holy place—in the Courtyard of the Tent of Meeting. They must not bake it with yeast. I have designated it as their share of the gifts presented to me. It is very holy, like the Absolution-Offering and the Compensation-Offering. Any male descendant among Aaron's sons may eat it. This is a fixed rule regarding God 's gifts, stretching down the generations. Anyone who touches these offerings must be holy."
New American Standard Bible (1995)
'Now this is the law of the grain offering: the sons of Aaron shall present it before the LORD in front of the altar.

Contextual Overview

14 "'This is the law of the meal offering: the sons of Aharon shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar. 15 He shall take from there his handful of the fine flour of the meal offering, and of its oil, and all the frankincense which is on the meal offering, and shall burn it on the altar for a sweet savor, as its memorial, to the LORD. 16 That which is left of it Aharon and his sons shall eat. It shall be eaten without yeast in a holy place. They shall eat it in the court of the Tent of Meeting 17 It shall not be baked with yeast. I have given it as their portion of my offerings made by fire. It is most holy, as the sin offering, and as the trespass offering. 18 Every male among the children of Aharon shall eat of it, as their portion forever throughout your generations, from the offerings of the LORD made by fire. Whoever touches them shall be holy.'" 19 The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying, 20 "This is the offering of Aharon and of his sons, which they shall offer to the LORD in the day when he is anointed: the tenth part of an efah of fine flour for a meal offering perpetually, half of it in the morning, and half of it in the evening. 21 It shall be made with oil in a baking pan. When it is soaked, you shall bring it in. You shall offer the meal offering in baked pieces for a sweet savor to the LORD. 22 The anointed Kohen that will be in his place from among his sons shall offer it. By a statute forever, it shall be wholly burnt to the LORD. 23 Every meal offering of a Kohen shall be wholly burned. It shall not be eaten."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And this [is] the law of the meat offering,.... Or the rules to be observed concerning that, for which, though directions are given, Leviticus 2:1, c. yet is here repeated with some additions to it:

the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the Lord being brought unto them by the children of Israel:

before the altar; or at the face of it, for what was properly offered was burnt upon it, as in the following verse Leviticus 6:15: for it should be rather rendered "in", or "on the altar" n; the face of it is the top of it, on which every sacrifice was offered, and not before it.

n אל פני המזבח "in altari", Noldius, p. 82. No. 391.
