The priest from among Aaron’s sons
This phrase emphasizes the hereditary nature of the priesthood in ancient Israel, specifically within the lineage of Aaron, the brother of Moses. The Hebrew word for "priest" is "kohen," which denotes someone who is set apart for sacred duties. The priesthood was a divine appointment, and Aaron's sons were chosen to continue this holy service. This lineage underscores the importance of family and tradition in maintaining the spiritual leadership of Israel.

who is anointed to succeed him
The anointing of a priest was a significant ritual, involving the pouring of sacred oil, symbolizing the Holy Spirit's empowerment and consecration for service. The Hebrew word for "anointed" is "mashach," from which we derive "Messiah," meaning "the anointed one." This act of anointing signifies God's choice and blessing upon the individual, setting them apart for a specific purpose. The succession of priests ensured continuity in worship and adherence to God's commandments.

shall prepare it
The preparation of offerings was a meticulous task, requiring attention to detail and reverence. The Hebrew root "arak" implies arranging or setting in order, reflecting the priest's role in maintaining the sanctity and order of worship. This preparation was not merely a physical task but a spiritual act of obedience and devotion, symbolizing the priest's dedication to God.

It is a permanent portion
The term "permanent" indicates the enduring nature of this offering, known in Hebrew as "olam," meaning everlasting or perpetual. This reflects the unchanging nature of God's covenant with Israel and the continual need for atonement and dedication. The "portion" refers to the part of the offering designated for God, highlighting the principle of giving the best and first to the Lord as an act of worship and acknowledgment of His sovereignty.

it must be completely burned to the LORD
The complete burning of the offering, or "kalil" in Hebrew, signifies total dedication and surrender to God. This act of burning represents purification and the transformation of the offering into a pleasing aroma to the Lord. It underscores the concept of sacrifice as a means of drawing near to God, emphasizing the seriousness of sin and the need for atonement. The phrase "to the LORD" reminds us that all acts of worship are directed towards God, who is the ultimate recipient of our devotion and praise.

(22) And the priest of his sons.--That is, any one of his descendants who succeeds to the high priesthood is to do the same in all times to come, since it is a statute to last as long as the priesthood continues.

It shall be wholly burnt.--Unlike the ordinary meat offerings brought by the laity, which, with the exception of a handful, was the perquisite of the officiating priest (see Leviticus 2:2-3), the high priest could not eat of this mincha because he presented it himself, since it would be unseemly both to offer it to God and at the same time eat it himself. Nor was an ordinary priest allowed to eat it, because he was subordinate in rank to the officiating high priest.
