This is the offering
The Hebrew word for "offering" is "קָרְבָּן" (korban), which signifies something brought near to God. In the context of Leviticus, offerings are central to the Israelites' worship and relationship with God. They symbolize devotion, atonement, and thanksgiving. This particular offering underscores the importance of approaching God with reverence and obedience, acknowledging His holiness and the need for mediation through the priesthood.

that Aaron and his sons
Aaron and his sons were chosen by God to serve as priests, mediating between God and the people of Israel. This priestly lineage highlights the importance of spiritual leadership and the responsibility of guiding others in worship and obedience to God. The priesthood of Aaron is a foreshadowing of the ultimate High Priest, Jesus Christ, who mediates a new covenant between God and humanity.

are to present to the LORD
The act of presenting an offering to the LORD signifies an intentional act of worship and submission. The Hebrew word "לִפְנֵי" (lifnei) means "before" or "in the presence of," indicating that offerings are made directly to God, acknowledging His sovereignty and holiness. This presentation is a reminder of the need for purity and sincerity in worship.

on the day he is anointed
Anointing, from the Hebrew "מָשַׁח" (mashach), is a significant ritual symbolizing consecration and the setting apart for divine service. The anointing of Aaron and his sons marks the beginning of their priestly duties, emphasizing the sacredness of their role and the divine authority bestowed upon them. This act prefigures the anointing of Jesus as the Messiah, the Anointed One.

a tenth of an ephah of fine flour
The specific measurement of "a tenth of an ephah" reflects the precision and orderliness of God's instructions. The use of "fine flour" indicates the quality and purity required in offerings, symbolizing the best of what one has to offer to God. This requirement teaches the principle of giving God our first and finest, a practice that reflects our gratitude and reverence.

as a regular grain offering
The grain offering, or "מִנְחָה" (minchah), is a tribute to God, representing the fruits of human labor and the sustenance provided by God. It is a non-blood offering, symbolizing dedication and thanksgiving. The regularity of this offering underscores the continual nature of worship and the daily acknowledgment of God's provision and grace.

half of it in the morning and half in the evening
The division of the offering into morning and evening portions signifies the perpetual nature of worship and the need for constant devotion. This practice reflects the rhythm of daily life centered around God, reminding believers of the importance of beginning and ending each day with a focus on Him. It is a call to live a life of consistent faithfulness and reliance on God's presence and guidance.

(20) This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons.--This offering, which is called the oblation of initiation, was, according to the practice which obtained during the second Temple, the mincha "of Aaron and his sons," as the text before us declares; that is, of the high priest and of every common priest. The ordinary priest, however, only offered it once on the day of his consecration, whilst the high priest was bound to offer it every day after the regular holocaust, with its meat offering and before the drink offering (Ecclesiasticus 45:14, with Josephus, Antiq. III. 10 ? 7). It is to this practice that the apostle refers when he says, "For such a high priest became us . . . who needeth not daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices first for his own sins, &c." (Hebrews 7:27).

In the day when he is anointed.--That is, when he is anointed (comp. Genesis 2:4) or when his anointing ceremony is completed, and he entered upon the duties of his office, which was on the eighth day. (See Leviticus 8:35; Leviticus 9:1.) . . .
