SCRIPTURE

"And this is the law of the meal-offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before Jehovah, before the altar." — Leviticus 6:14 (ASV)

And this [is] the law of the meat offering
Or the rules to be observed concerning that, for which, though directions are given, (Leviticus 2:1) yet is here repeated with some additions to it:

the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the Lord ;
being brought unto them by the children of Israel:

before the altar ;
or at the face of it, for what was properly offered was burnt upon it, as in the following verse (Leviticus 6:15) : for it should be rather rendered "in", or "on the altar" F14 ; the face of it is the top of it, on which every sacrifice was offered, and not before it.
