The ritual of the grain offering is that the worshipper prepared the grain offering, and then he brought it to the priest. The priest burned a memorial portion on the altar. The rest was eaten by the priests in the courtyard of the tabernacle.
On the contrary, Lev (6:23) regarding the grain offering by a priest, says that it shall not be eaten -- No part of it shall be eaten by the priest.
The reason of the difference is probably because when the priest offered it for the people, he was to have some recompense for his pains, partly to signify the imperfection of the Levitical priest, who could not bear their own iniquity.
For the priest's not eating the sacrifices, it might mean it is their duty to serve God with singleness of heart, and to be content with God's honor though they have no present advantage by it.

草戊尚土 牧師和各位俱樂部的兄姐,平安:
回覆刪除不是很清楚一般人獻的素祭與大祭司獻的素祭的差別,只是這裡有句話︰『凡獻給耶和華的火祭,亞倫子孫中的男丁都要吃這一分,直到萬代,作他們永得的份。摸這些祭物的,都要成為聖。』
這讓我有個感覺,我覺得獻祭的目的可能是要我們懂得『分別為聖』,當我們的罪因著耶穌的救贖而得赦免時,我們內心深處會被聖靈觸摸,祂會引領我們分別出自己,讓我們的生命能被改變。
卯同學 敬上
大家平安
回覆刪除其間的差別應該是:「所剩下的(素祭),亞倫和他子孫要吃」與「祭司的素祭都要燒了,卻不可吃」。
一般人所獻的素祭,祭司可以分得一部份(這是從所獻給神的火祭中賜給他們的分),而祭司所獻給神的,就是「全然」獻上了。
