Read Leviticus 6 in context

Scripture Focus

14And this is the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar.

15And he shall take of it his handful, of the flour of the meat offering, and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which is upon the meat offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour, even the memorial of it, unto the LORD.

16And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: with unleavened bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation they shall eat it.

17It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it unto them for their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.

18All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations concerning the offerings of the LORD made by fire: every one that toucheth them shall be holy.

19And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

20This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer unto the LORD in the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meat offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and half thereof at night.

21In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is baken, thou shalt bring it in: and the baken pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer for a sweet savour unto the LORD.

22And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer it: it is a statute for ever unto the LORD; it shall be wholly burnt.

23For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten.

Leviticus 6:14-23

Biblical Context

The passage describes a meat offering by Aaron, burned on the altar as a memorial to the LORD. The remainder is eaten by Aaron and his sons in the holy place, in holiness, without leaven, and kept as an eternal statute.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the law of the meat offering as a map of consciousness. The handful of flour, the oil, and the frankincense you lift to the altar are the precise ingredients of your awareness—attention, vitality, and prayer—offered to the I AM. When those elements are burned upon the altar, they become a sweet savour, a memorial that reaches beyond memory into the now of your being. The remains that Aaron and his sons eat in the holy place symbolize the nourishment your inner self receives from a life lived in consecration: the portion of your mind that remains in the holy, not leavened by distraction, fed by the simple bread of present awareness. This offering is holy, all-consuming, not to be shared with the 'world' of alteration; it is a perpetual statute, reminding you that every thought and feeling weighing in your heart can be lifted, refined, and returned to you as part of your own sacred body. And as you touch these sacred foods, you are made holy, for you touch the inner ordination—the I AM—the witness in you who tastes and knows.

Practice This Now

Act: In a quiet moment, assume you have already offered your finest thoughts to the Lord. Feel the sense of 'it is done' and imagine tasting the bread of inner peace in the holy place, letting the memory of the offering nourish your present awareness.
