The further ritual of the meat offering (see note on Leviticus 2:1 ). The greater part of it is to be given to the priests, and they and the males of their families are to eat it without adding leaven to it. With unleavened bread shall it be eaten ( Leviticus 6:16 ) should rather be rendered, Unleavened shall it be eaten.
