This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Dry, without oil, or drink-offering, as those Lev_5:1 Num_5:15.
One as much as another: the sense may be either,
1. That every priest shall have equal right to this, when the course of his ministration comes. But then there was no reason to make so great an alteration of the phrase, nor to make any distinction of the differing kinds of meatofferings, if in both they were to be the priest’s that offered them, as is expressed Lev_7:9, and here, as they say, intended. Or rather,
2. That these were to be equally divided among all the priests. And there was manifest reason for this difference, because these were in greater quantity than the former; and being raw, might more easily and commodiously be divided and reserved for the several priests to dress it in that way which each of them best liked.
