And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as much as another.
And every grain offering, whether mixed with oil or dry, shall belong to all of Aaron's sons equally—each one receiving the same portion as the others.
This verse establishes that all the priests (Aaron's descendants) should share equally in the grain offerings brought to God, ensuring fairness among those serving in the temple.
📚 Historical Context
This instruction was given to Moses as part of the detailed laws for the Israelite priesthood around 1440 BC. Aaron was the first high priest, and his sons and their descendants formed the priestly class who served in the tabernacle (and later the temple). The grain offerings were a regular part of worship, and this law ensured that all priests received equal provision from these offerings.
