John Gill Commentary Leviticus 2:6

"Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a meal-offering." — Leviticus 2:6 (ASV)

Thou shalt part it in pieces
This answered to the dividing of the pieces of the burnt offering, (Leviticus 1:6Leviticus 1:12) and signified the same thing; (See Gill on Leviticus 1:6) (See Gill on Leviticus 1:12) All meat offerings, it is said ^F12 , that were obliged to be cut to pieces; the meat offering of an Israelite, one (cake) was doubled into two, and two into four, and then divided, each piece was about the quantity of an olive:

and pour oil thereon ;
after parted into pieces, (See Gill on Leviticus 2:4)

[it is] a meat offering ;
as well as that of fine flour, or that which was baked in an oven.
