Book of Leviticus - Chapter 2 - Verse 3

2:3
And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.

Meaning

In this verse, the meat offering is referred to as a "thing most holy" of the offerings made by fire to the Lord. The meat offering, also known as a grain offering, was one of the offerings prescribed in the Old Testament for the Israelites to give to the Lord. This offering was made of fine flour mixed with oil and frankincense, and could also include salt. The portion of the offering that was not burned on the altar was to be given to Aaron and his sons, the priests. This practice symbolized the priests sharing in the consecration of the offering and participating in the fellowship with the Lord. The offering was considered holy because it was set apart for the Lord and was used in worship and communion with Him. By giving the remnant of the meat offering to Aaron and his sons, the priests were being provided for and honored for their service to the Lord. This verse highlights the importance of honoring and providing for those who serve the Lord in the sacrificial system of the Old Testament.
