Lev 6:16 | MHM | STEP | v. 16-18 : There were special rules about eating the meat-offering. It had to be eaten without leaven ( v. 16 ), showing that what is given to God should be pure. The priests had to eat it only in the holy place, the court of the tabernacle. Only the males among Aaron’s sons could eat it, and only those who were clean. Everything that touched this holy food became holy itself ( v. 18 ). This teaches us that God’s gifts are for holy purposes and must be treated with respect.
