Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Leviticus 2:16
And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, [part] of the beaten corn thereof, and [part] of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: [it is] an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
The priest shall burn the memorial of it,…. That which is taken out of it for a memorial, the same with the handful of fine flour and cakes of the meat offering:
part of the beaten corn thereof; or that which was ground in a mill:
and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; as was done in the other meat offerings:
it is an offering made by fire unto the Lord, see Le 2:2.

REFLECTIONS
READER! In every offering, oblation, and sacrifice, seek for JESUS. Whether among the fruits of the earth, in the fine flour, the oil, and frankincense, or among the daily lamb of the Israelite: all pointed to him, and in him had their object completed. And while you pray, for the HOLY GHOST, thus to enlighten the eyes of your understanding, in the knowledge of him, pray no less for grace also, that in all your offerings to GOD by faith in him, no leaven may be mingled with the all-perfect oblation of JESUS. Seek nothing, bring nothing, depend upon nothing, know nothing, in a way of acceptance with GOD, but JESUS CHRIST, and him crucified. And while this grand and only means of salvation, is made the security of your soul, beg of the LORD also, that all your sacrifices, be salted with the salt of the covenant of your GOD. Oh! for the LORD JESUS, to preserve, by his purifying salt of spiritual grace, both your soul, and my soul, that we may have this salt in ourselves, and peace one with another.

Lev 2:16. Made by fire The fire denotes the fervency of spirit which ought to be in all our religious services. Holy love is the fire by which all our offerings must be made; else they are not of a sweet savour to God.
