Likewise
This word connects the instructions given in this verse to the preceding regulations about offerings. It signifies continuity and consistency in the laws given by God to Moses. The Hebrew word used here is "כֵּן" (ken), which means "thus" or "in the same manner." It emphasizes the uniformity of God's commandments and the importance of following His instructions precisely.

every grain offering
The grain offering, or "מִנְחָה" (minchah) in Hebrew, was a significant part of the sacrificial system. It symbolized the dedication of the fruits of one's labor to God, acknowledging His provision and sovereignty. This offering was typically made of fine flour, oil, and frankincense, representing purity, anointing, and prayer, respectively. It was a voluntary act of worship, expressing gratitude and devotion.

baked in an oven
The method of preparation for the grain offering is specified here. Baking in an oven suggests a process that requires time and care, reflecting the worshiper's dedication. The oven, or "תַּנּוּר" (tannur) in Hebrew, was a common household item in ancient Israel, used for baking bread. This detail highlights the everyday nature of worship and the integration of faith into daily life.

or cooked in a pan
Cooking in a pan, or "מַחֲבַת" (machavat) in Hebrew, indicates a different method of preparation. This could refer to a flat pan used for frying, suggesting a quicker, more immediate form of offering. It underscores the flexibility in how offerings could be made, allowing for personal expression within the framework of God's law.

or on a griddle
The griddle, or "מַרְחֶשֶׁת" (marchesheth) in Hebrew, was another cooking implement used for preparing offerings. This method might involve a more communal or shared experience, as griddles were often used for larger quantities. It reflects the communal aspect of worship and the shared responsibility of the community in honoring God.

belongs to the priest
The phrase "belongs to the priest" indicates the provision for those who serve in the temple. The priests, who were from the tribe of Levi, had no inheritance of land and relied on the offerings of the people for their sustenance. This provision underscores the principle of supporting those who dedicate their lives to spiritual service, a practice that continues in various forms in Christian communities today.

who presents it
The priest who presents the offering is the one who receives it. This highlights the personal connection between the act of worship and the service of the priest. It emphasizes the role of the priest as a mediator between God and the people, a role ultimately fulfilled by Jesus Christ, our High Priest, who presents our offerings to God and intercedes on our behalf.

(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.
