Leviticus 6:17,18 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

It That part which remains to the priest; for the part offered to God seems not to have been baked at all. Every one that toucheth them That is, none should touch, or eat them, but consecrated persons, priests, or their sons. This preserved the dignity of the sacrifice, to have it eaten only by the priests, and by them only in a holy place.

Leviticus 6:17-18

17 It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it unto them for their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.

18 All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations concerning the offerings of the LORD made by fire: every one that toucheth them shall be holy.
