Context — Laws for Grain Offerings
8When you bring to the LORD the grain offering made in any of these ways, it is to be presented to the priest, and he shall take it to the altar.
9The priest is to remove the memorial portion from the grain offering and burn it on the altar as a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
10But the remainder of the grain offering shall belong to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the food offerings to the LORD.
11No grain offering that you present to the LORD may be made with leaven, for you are not to burn any leaven or honey as a food offering to the LORD. 12You may bring them to the LORD as an offering of firstfruits, but they must not go up on the altar as a pleasing aroma.Cross References

Leviticus 2:10 Summary
Leviticus 2:10 teaches us that after a portion of the grain offering was burned as a gift to God, the rest was given to the priests, Aaron and his sons, to show that they relied on God for their needs. This reminds us that when we give to God, we are also giving to those who serve Him, like the priests did. Just like the priests were set apart for God's work, we can set apart parts of our lives to honor Him, as seen in Romans 12:1, where we are called to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God. By giving to God and His servants, we are worshiping Him and showing our gratitude for all He has done for us (Hebrews 13:15-16).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the grain offering in Leviticus 2:10?
The grain offering represents a gift to God, and the portion given to Aaron and his sons signifies their dependence on God for provision, as seen in Deuteronomy 18:1, where the priests are not given an inheritance in the land.
Why is the remainder of the grain offering considered 'a most holy part'?
It is considered most holy because it has been dedicated to the Lord, and as such, it is set apart for the use of the priests, as instructed in Leviticus 2:3, emphasizing the importance of separating the sacred from the common.
How does this verse relate to the broader theme of worship in the Bible?
This verse highlights the importance of giving to God and His servants, as part of our worship, reflecting the principle in Malachi 3:10, where God calls His people to bring their tithes and offerings to the storehouse, that there may be food in His house.
What can we learn about the role of priests in the Old Testament from this verse?
From this verse, we see that the priests were dependent on the offerings of the people for their livelihood, illustrating their role as mediators between God and the people, as mentioned in Hebrews 5:1, where the high priest is described as one who offers gifts and sacrifices for sins.

Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 2:10
4–10. After the general description of Lev 2:1-3, three methods of preparing the Meal-Offering are specified. It may be (1) baken in the oven (Leviticus 2:4), or (2) on a flat plate (Leviticus 2:5, mg. of R.V. and A.V.), or (3) in a frying pan (Leviticus 2:7). In all cases the material is the same; fine flour and oil, and the priest is to treat it in the same way (Leviticus 2:9-10 repeat the directions of Lev 2:2-3).
