20 This is the offering H7133 of Aaron H175 and of his sons, H1121 which they shall offer H7126 unto the LORD H3068 in the day H3117 when he is anointed; H4886 the tenth part H6224 of an ephah H374 of fine flour H5560 for a meat offering H4503 perpetual, H8548 half H4276 of it in the morning, H1242 and half H4276 thereof at night. H6153
21 In a pan H4227 it shall be made H6213 with oil; H8081 and when it is baken, H7246 thou shalt bring H935 it in: and the baken H8601 pieces H6595 of the meat offering H4503 shalt thou offer H7126 for a sweet H5207 savour H7381 unto the LORD. H3068
22 And the priest H3548 of his sons H1121 that is anointed H4899 in his stead shall offer H6213 it: it is a statute H2706 for ever H5769 unto the LORD; H3068 it shall be wholly H3632 burnt. H6999
23 For every meat offering H4503 for the priest H3548 shall be wholly burnt: H3632 it shall not be eaten. H398
24 And the LORD H3068 spake H1696 unto Moses, H4872 saying, H559
25 Speak H1696 unto Aaron H175 and to his sons, H1121 saying, H559 This is the law H8451 of the sin offering: H2403 In the place H4725 where the burnt offering H5930 is killed H7819 shall the sin offering H2403 be killed H7819 before H6440 the LORD: H3068 it is most H6944 holy. H6944
26 The priest H3548 that offereth it for sin H2398 shall eat H398 it: in the holy H6918 place H4725 shall it be eaten, H398 in the court H2691 of the tabernacle H168 of the congregation. H4150
27 Whatsoever shall touch H5060 the flesh H1320 thereof shall be holy: H6942 and when there is sprinkled H5137 of the blood H1818 thereof upon any garment, H899 thou shalt wash H3526 that whereon it was sprinkled H5137 in the holy H6918 place. H4725
28 But the earthen H2789 vessel H3627 wherein it is sodden H1310 shall be broken: H7665 and if it be sodden H1310 in a brasen H5178 pot, H3627 it shall be both scoured, H4838 and rinsed H7857 in water. H4325
29 All the males H2145 among the priests H3548 shall eat H398 thereof: it is most H6944 holy. H6944
30 And no sin offering, H2403 whereof any of the blood H1818 is brought H935 into the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 to reconcile H3722 withal in the holy H6944 place, shall be eaten: H398 it shall be burnt H8313 in the fire. H784

Commentary on Leviticus 6 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 6
The first seven verses of this chapter might fitly have been added to the foregoing chapter, being a continuation of the law of the trespass-offering, and the putting of other cases in which it was to be offered; and with this end the instructions God gave concerning the several kinds of sacrifices that should be offered: and then at v. 8 (which in the original begins a new section of the law) he comes to appoint the several rites and ceremonies concerning these sacrifices which had not been mentioned before.

The priests were rulers in the house of God, but these rulers must be ruled; and those that had the command of others must themselves be commanded. Let ministers remember that not only commissions, but commands, were given to Aaron and his sons, who must be in subjection to them.
In these verses we have the law of the burnt-offering, as far as it was the peculiar care of the priests. The daily sacrifice of a lamb, which was offered morning and evening for the whole congregation, is here chiefly referred to.
Lev 6:14-23
The meat-offering was either that which was offered by the people or that by the priests at their consecration. Now,
Lev 6:24-30
We have here so much of the law of the sin-offering as did peculiarly concern the priests that offered it. As,
