Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

the offering: This oblation, which the Jews call a mincha of initiation, seems to have been required of the high priest alone "on the day in which he was anointed," and from that time, every morning and evening, as long as he continued in office, and then in like manner of his successor; for, by "the sons of Aaron," may be understood his descendants and successors in the high priesthood, in their generations. Exodus 29:2, Numbers 18:26-32, Hebrews 5:1, Hebrews 7:27, Hebrews 8:3, Hebrews 8:4

in the day: The word beyom signifies not only in the day, but from that day forward; for it was a daily oblation, and for them and their successors, a statue forever. Leviticus 6:22

the tenth: Leviticus 5:1, Exodus 16:36

a meat offering: Leviticus 2:1-16, Exodus 29:35-42, Numbers 28:3, Numbers 28:10

Reciprocal: Leviticus 4:26 - the fat Leviticus 7:37 - consecrations Numbers 18:8 - the charge 1 Chronicles 23:29 - the fine flour

Gill's Notes on the Bible

This is the offering of Aaron and his sons,.... That is, of such of them as succeeded him in the high priesthood, as appears from Leviticus 6:22 so Aben Ezra, of him, or of one of his sons in his room; though some think the common priests offered the following oblation at the time of their initiation into their office, though they were not anointed as the high priest was, nor obliged as he to continue the offering daily:

which they shall offer unto the Lord in the day when he is anointed; when he, or any of his sons in his stead, were anointed, for as yet he himself was not; see Leviticus 8:2 some, as Aben Ezra observes, think that ב, "in", is instead of מ, "from", and that the sense is, that Aaron, or his successor, and every of them, were to offer the following offering perpetually from the time of their being anointed, and put into the office of the high priest, and which certainly was the case, as appears by what follows:

the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meat offering perpetual; which was an omer, and as much as a man could eat in one day; and this the high priest offered every day, as long as he lived, or was in his office, and that at his own expense, as Josephus says p, not altogether, but in the following manner:

half of it in the morning, and half of it at night; so that this constantly returned as the morning and evening sacrifices did, and followed them. Jarchi says of this, that it was the common meat offering at the consecration of a priest, but the high priest offered it every day; and it appears from the Misnic writers q that this meat offering consisted of twelve cakes, the same number as those of the shewbread; the same phrase, a "perpetual statute", being used of one as the other; and six of these were offered in the morning, and six at evening; and this as the daily sacrifice had the same mystical meaning, and respected the continual efficacy of the sacrifice of Christ.

p Antiqu. l. 3. c. 10. sect. 7. q Misn. Menachot, c. 6. sect. 5. & Maimon. & Bartenora in ib.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See Leviticus 4:3. Aaron’s sons here spoken of (as in Leviticus 6:22) must be the succession of high priests who succeeded him. The day of this offering was probably the eighth day of the ceremony of consecration Leviticus 8:35; Leviticus 9:1, when the high priest appears to have entered upon the duties of his office.

A meat offering perpetual - Jewish tradition is in favor of these words implying that this מנחה mı̂nchāh was offered by the high priest as a daily rite from the time of his consecration.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Leviticus 6:20. In the day when he is anointed — Not only in that day, but from that day forward, for this was to them and their successors a statute for ever. See Leviticus 6:22.
