But the rest of the grain offering
The phrase "the rest of the grain offering" refers to what remains after a portion has been offered on the altar. In Hebrew, the word for "grain offering" is "minchah," which signifies a gift or tribute. This offering was typically made of fine flour, oil, and frankincense, symbolizing the fruits of human labor and dedication to God. The "rest" indicates that not all of the offering was consumed by fire, emphasizing God's provision for the priests who served Him.

belongs to Aaron and his sons
This phrase highlights the provision for the priestly family, Aaron and his sons, who were set apart for service in the tabernacle. The Hebrew word for "belongs" is "hayah," meaning to be or to become, indicating a rightful possession. This provision underscores the principle that those who minister in holy things should be supported by the offerings of the people, a concept echoed in the New Testament (1 Corinthians 9:13-14).

it is a most holy part
The term "most holy" in Hebrew is "qodesh qodashim," denoting the highest degree of sanctity. This classification of the offering signifies its exclusive dedication to God and His service. The "most holy" status required that it be handled with utmost reverence and consumed only by the priests within the sacred precincts, reflecting the holiness of God and the sanctity of His worship.

of the offerings made by fire
The phrase "offerings made by fire" refers to sacrifices that were partially or wholly consumed by fire on the altar. The Hebrew word "ishsheh" is used here, which means a fire offering. This act of burning symbolizes the complete surrender and dedication of the offering to God, transforming the physical into a spiritual act of worship, ascending to God as a pleasing aroma.

to the LORD
The phrase "to the LORD" emphasizes the ultimate recipient of the offering. In Hebrew, "LORD" is "YHWH," the covenant name of God, signifying His eternal, self-existent nature. This offering, though given to the priests, is ultimately directed to God, acknowledging His sovereignty and the covenant relationship between Him and His people. It serves as a reminder that all acts of worship and service are ultimately for His glory and honor.
