Thou shalt part it in pieces, etc.] This answered to the dividing of the pieces of the burnt offering, (<030106>Leviticus 1:6,12) and signified the same thing; (see Gill on “<030106>Leviticus 1:6”) (see Gill on “<030112>Leviticus 1:12”) All meat offerings, it is said f58, that were prepared in a vessel, were obliged to be cut to pieces; the meat offering of an Israelite, one (cake) was doubled into two, and two into four, and then divided, each piece was about the quantity of an olive: and pour oil thereon; after parted into pieces, (see Gill on “<030204>Leviticus 2:4”) [it is] a meat offering; as well as that of fine flour, or that which was baked in an oven.
