Gill's Exposition on Leviticus 7:9

And all the meat offering that is baked in the oven,.... Or "every meat offering" (b), whether dressed in one way or another, and which was done in one or other of these three ways, of which this was

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 7:9

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. No JFB commentary on these verses.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Leviticus 7:9

All the meat-offering, except the part reserved by God, ,9. Shall be the priest’ s that offereth it, because these were ready drest and hot, and not to be presently eaten; and because the priest who offered it was in reason to expect and have something more than his brethren who laboured not about it; and that he had only in this offering, for the other were equally distributed.

Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 7:9

Leviticus 7:9 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.Ver. 9. And all the meat offering.] Which seems to be so called, partly because it went as meat unto the priest - the labourer is surely worthy of his meat, - but principally as leading to Christ, whose "flesh is meat indeed."

Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 7:9

(9) And all the meat offering.—Better, every meat offering. That is, dressed in whichever of the three ways here mentioned. (See Leviticus 2:4-7.) Shall be the priest’s.—With the exception of the memorial part, which was burnt upon the altar (see Leviticus 2:4-10), the whole was to go to the particular priest who offered it.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Leviticus 7:9

Verse 9. Baken in the oven] See Clarke on Leviticus 2:5, &c.

Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 7:9

9. The three methods of preparing the Meal-Offering specified in this verse are also enumerated in Leviticus 2:4-7 (see notes there). Many commentators distinguish between these cooked forms of the Meal-offering (here assigned to the priest who offereth it) and the other Meal-Offerings ‘mingled with oil’ described in Leviticus 2:1-3; Leviticus 2:14-16, and ‘dry’ Meal-Offerings, such as the Sin-Offering of the poor man (Leviticus 5:11) and the jealousy-offering (Numbers 5:15). These belong to ‘all the sons of Aaron one as well as another’ (Leviticus 7:10). No reason is here given for this different assignment of the Meal-Offerings. All the Meal-Offerings of ch. 2 are mingled with oil, and according to the Jewish traditional interpretation ‘the meal-offering mingled with oil’ includes all the offerings of ch. 2, and the ‘dry’ offering refers to the Sin-Offering of the poor man, and the jealousy-offering. In Leviticus 2:3; Leviticus 2:10 and Leviticus 6:16; Leviticus 6:18 that which is left of the Meal-Offering, whether cooked or not, is assigned to ‘Aaron and his sons.’
