Commentary
7 notes on this verseOf the anointing of Aaron - That is, of the priesthood; the sign put for the thing signified; and the anointing by a like figure is put for the part of the sacrifices belonging to the priest by virtue of his anointing. This was their portion appointed them by God in that day, and therefore to be given to them in after ages.
This site's exposition
This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron
on Leviticus 7:35-38
Verse 37 names all five offerings in one line and adds the consecrations, closing the run that began at chapter 1. The order ends on the peace offerings, where the worshipper's list in chapters 1 to 5 put them third and ended on the trespass offering. Verse 38 places the giving of these laws in mount Sinai and in the wilderness of Sinai, while Leviticus 1:1 has the LORD calling to Moses out of the tabernacle of the congregation. Commentators account for the two settings in different ways and the text itself settles nothing.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening3 voices
6 Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in the holy place: it is most holy. 7 As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering: there is one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have it.

This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron,....
Note, God will take care that those who are employed for him be well paid and well provided for. Those that receive the anointing of the Spirit to minister unto the Lord shall have their portion, and it shall be a worthy portion, out of the offerings of the Lord; for God's work is its own wages, and there is a present reward of obedience in obedience.
