Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Leviticus 5:13
And the priest shall make an atonement for him as touching his sin that he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and [the remnant] shall be the priest’s, as a meat offering.
13. the remnant shall be the priest’s ] ‘the remnant’ is not expressed in Heb. but is supplied by the LXX. It might be supposed that a priest would not be so extremely poor as to bring this offering; tradition however provided that if he did, the whole was to be burnt on the altar, according to Lev 6:23.

As it was in the meat-offering, where all, except one handful, fell to the share of the priests. See Lev 2:3; 7:9. And this is the rather mentioned here, because in the foregoing sacrifices, Lev 4:3; 13, &c., the priest had no part reserved for him.

And the priest shall make an atonement for him,…. By burning the handful of flour brought by him, as an emblem of the painful sufferings of Christ, whereby he made atonement for the sins of his people:
as touching his sin that he hath sinned in one of these; for whatsoever sin he had committed in any of the above cases, Le 5:1:
and it shall be forgiven him; upon the foot of the atonement made;
[See comments on Le 5:10]:
and [the remnant] shall be the priest’s as a meat offering; the whole tenth part of an ephah of fine flour was the priest’s, excepting the handful he took and burnt, just as in the case of a common meat offering, Le 2:3.

(13) As touching his sin that he had sinned in one of these.That is, in one of the three sins specified in Lev. 5:1-4 of this chapter. (See Lev. 5:5.)
And the remnant shall be the priests.Better, and it shall belong to the priest. The word remnant is not in the original, and is better left out, since with the exception of the handful which he took out to burn upon the altar, the whole tenth part of the ephah of fine flour belonged to the priest. At the time of Christ, this only took place when the offerer was a layman. But when a priest committed the offence and brought the offering in question, the whole tenth part of the ephah of flour was burnt on the altar, as was done in the case of the meat offering.
