Lev. 2:1–16 The grain offering (see also 6:14–23) would ordinarily be offered with a burnt or peace offering. It probably served the same purpose as the offering it accompanied.
Lev. 2:1–3 The priest was to burn a handful of the offering as a memorial portion to the Lord (v. 2). The Israelites were asking the Lord to “remember” them with favor as they made their request or offered their praise.
Lev. 2:11–13 The worshipers are prohibited from burning leaven or honey on the altar, though the text does not explain why. They could, however, season their offerings with salt, which is described as the salt of the covenant. As a preservative, salt would remind them of the permanence of their covenant relationship with the Lord (see Num. 18:19).
