Now this is the law
The phrase "Now this is the law" introduces a specific set of divine instructions. The Hebrew word for "law" here is "תּוֹרָה" (torah), which means instruction or teaching. In the context of Leviticus, it signifies God's direct commandments to His people, emphasizing the importance of obedience and reverence. This introduction sets the stage for a detailed explanation of the grain offering, underscoring the sacredness and precision required in worship.

of the grain offering
The "grain offering," or "מִנְחָה" (minchah) in Hebrew, was a voluntary offering made of fine flour, oil, and frankincense. It symbolized the worshiper's dedication and gratitude to God, acknowledging His provision. Historically, grain offerings were significant in ancient Near Eastern cultures, but in Israel, they were uniquely tied to covenantal worship, reflecting a heart of thanksgiving and submission to God's sovereignty.

Aaron’s sons
"Aaron’s sons" refers to the priestly lineage established by God through Aaron, the brother of Moses. The Hebrew term "בְּנֵי אַהֲרֹן" (benei Aharon) highlights the hereditary priesthood responsible for mediating between God and the Israelites. This phrase underscores the continuity and sanctity of the priestly duties, as well as the importance of maintaining purity and holiness in service to God.

shall present it before the LORD
The act of presenting the offering "before the LORD" signifies bringing it into God's presence. The Hebrew word "לִפְנֵי" (lifnei) means "before" or "in the presence of," indicating a direct encounter with the divine. This phrase emphasizes the personal nature of worship and the need for offerings to be made with sincerity and reverence, acknowledging God's holiness and authority.

in front of the altar
The "altar" was the central place of sacrifice and worship in the Tabernacle, later in the Temple. The Hebrew word "מִזְבֵּחַ" (mizbeach) means "altar," a sacred space where offerings were made to God. "In front of the altar" indicates the specific location for presenting the grain offering, highlighting the order and structure in worship practices. This phrase reminds believers of the importance of approaching God with respect and following His ordained methods of worship.

(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.)

Verses 14-18. - The further ritual of the meat offering (see note on chapter Leviticus 2:1). The greater part of it is to be given to the priests, and they and the males of their families are to eat it without adding leaven to it. With unleavened bread shall it be eaten (verse 16) should rather be rendered, Unleavened shall it be eaten. Not only is it most holy itself, but every one (or rather everything) that toucheth the offerings shall be holy. The touch of the offering conveys the character of holiness to the thing touched, which must, therefore, itself be treated as holy.
