Dry - Without oil, or drink-offering, as those chap. v, 11, Num. v, 15. All the sons of Aaron - 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 be reserved for the several priests to dress it in that way which each of them liked.

shall have to himself the skin

on Leviticus 7:8-10

Verse 8 gives the officiating priest the skin of the burnt offering, which is the one part of a whole burnt offering that does not go up from the altar in smoke. The meat offering is then divided two ways without a reason given. What was baked in the oven or dressed in a pan belongs to the priest who offered it, and what came mingled with oil or dry is shared among all the sons of Aaron, one as much as another. Adam Clarke passes on an older suggestion that the priest's right to the skin began with the coats of skins of Genesis 3:21, and he gives it as a supposition rather than as something the text states.
