Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

The priest shall burn the memorial of it,.... That which is taken out of it for a memorial, the same with the handful of fine flour and cakes of the meat offering:
part of the beaten corn thereof; or that which was ground in a mill:
and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; as was done in the other meat offerings:
it is an offering made by fire unto the Lord, see Leviticus 2:2.

Made by fire - The fire denotes that fervency of spirit, which ought to be in all our religious services. Holy love is the fire, by which all our offerings must be made: else they are not of a sweet savour to God.
