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.
