Leviticus 6:14 Summary

[Leviticus 6:14 is about a special kind of offering called the grain offering, which was a way for the Israelites to show God they were thankful for the food He provided, similar to the concept of firstfruits in Deuteronomy 26:1-11. The priests, Aaron's sons, would present this offering to God in front of the altar, which was a special place where God met with His people, as seen in Exodus 25:22 and Ezekiel 43:1-5. This offering reminds us that everything we have comes from God, and we should always give Him our best, as taught in Malachi 3:10 and 2 Corinthians 9:6-7. By presenting the grain offering, the Israelites were acknowledging God's provision and care for them, just as we acknowledge God's love and care for us through Jesus Christ, as described in John 3:16 and Romans 5:8.]

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 6:14

And this is the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar. This is the law of the meat offering , [ haminchaah (H4503)].

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Leviticus 6:14

The law of the meat-offering, to wit, of that which was offered alone, and that by any of the people, not by the priest, for then it must have been all burnt. This law, delivered Leviticus 2, is here repeated for the sake of some additions here made to it; as it is a common practice of law-makers, when they make additional laws, to recite such laws to which such additions belong.

Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 6:14

Leviticus 6:14 And this [is] the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar.Ver. 14. The law of the meat offering.] Besides what is set down in Leviticus 2:1-2. Thus one text explains another; as the diamond is brightened with its own dust.

Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 6:14

(14) And this is the law of the meat offering.—In Leviticus 2:1-3, where this meat offering is spoken of, the people are told of what the mincha is to consist, and what portion of it was the perquisite of the officiating priest. In the section before us (Leviticus 6:14-18) additional directions are given to the priests about the eating of the portions which belong to them and about the treatment of the residue. The sons of Aaron shall offer it.—Though in the chapter before us it literally means Aaron’s own sons, the phrase is intended to comprise his lineal descendants who succeeded to the priestly office. They, and they only, shall offer the sacrifices, but not a layman. Before the altar.—Or, in or at the fore part of the altar. That is, at the south-easterly corner of the altar. (See Leviticus 2:8.)

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Leviticus 6:14

Verse 14. The meat-offering] See Clarke on Leviticus 2:1, &c.

Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 6:14

(2) The Meal-Offering (14–18) The injunctions of Lev 2:2-3 are repeated, almost in the same words in Leviticus 6:15-16 (as far as ‘his sons eat’): in what follows, the place of eating is fixed—the court of the tent of meeting. In Leviticus 6:17 note the use of the first person, and the reference to the Sin-Offering and Guilt-Offering. The Meal-Offering was ‘most holy,’ and could be eaten only by the male descendants of Aaron.

Barnes' Notes on Leviticus 6:14

See Leviticus 2:1-10; Exodus 29:40-41. Leviticus 6:16 With unleavened bread shall it be eaten - This should be, it (the remainder) shall be eaten unleavened.
