5 notes on this verseAll the meal-offering - Except the part reserved by God, chap. ii, 2, 9. Because these were ready drest and hot, and to be presently eaten; shall be the priests - The priest, who offered it, was in reason to expect, something more than his brethren who laboured not about it; and that he had only in this offering; for the others were equally distributed.

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.
