The three methods of preparing the Meal-Offering specified in this verse are also enumerated in Leviticus 2:4-7 (see notes there). Many commentators distinguish between these cookedforms of the Meal-offering (here assigned to the priest who offereth it) and the other Meal-Offerings -mingled with oil" described in Leviticus 2:1-3; Leviticus 2:14-16, and -dry" Meal-Offerings, such as the Sin-Offering of the poor man (Leviticus 5:11) and the jealousy-offering (Numbers 5:15). These belong to -all the sons of Aaron one as well as another" (Leviticus 7:10). No reason is here given for this different assignment of the Meal-Offerings. All the Meal-Offerings of ch. 2 are mingled with oil, and according to the Jewish traditional interpretation -the meal-offering mingled with oil" includes all the offerings of ch. 2, and the -dry" offering refers to the Sin-Offering of the poor man, and the jealousy-offering. In Leviticus 2:3; Leviticus 2:10 and Leviticus 6:16; Leviticus 6:18 that which is left of the Meal-Offering, whether cooked or not, is assigned to -Aaron and his sons."
