Matthew Henry5Bullinger1Calvin1John Wesley1

“The law of the burnt-offerings put upon the priests a great deal of care and work; the flesh was wholly burnt, and the priests had nothing but the skin. But most of the meat-offering was their own. It is God's will that his ministers should be provided with what is needful.”

— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Leviticus 6:14–23 (Public Domain)
