Leviticus 2:3

A thing most holy] The materials of the offerings are of two degrees of holiness. Some, as e.g. the peace offerings, are 'holy' (Leviticus 23:20) and may be eaten in any clean place by the priests and their families (Leviticus 10:14; Leviticus 22:10; Numbers 18:11); others, as the sin and guilt offerings (Leviticus 6:17; Leviticus 6:25; Leviticus 7:1;) and the shewbread (Leviticus 24:9), are 'most holy,' and may only be eaten in the court of the tabernacle by the priests alone (Numbers 18:9). The latter, moreover, communicate 'holiness' to whatever comes in contact with them: cp. Exodus 29:37; Leviticus 6:18; Leviticus 6:27.
