At this verse the Jews begin the twenty-fifth section of the law, and also, in the best Hebrew Bibles, the sixth chapter, which undoubtedly ought to begin here, as the inspired writer enters upon a new subject; the former part of the book being intended for the instruction of the {people} relative to the several sacrifices to be brought; but this for the instruction of the {priests} respecting some particulars of their official services.

the offering This oblation, which the Jews call a {mincha of initiation}, seems to have been required of the high priest alone `on the day in which he was anointed,' and from that time, every morning and evening, as long as he continued in office, and then in like manner of his successor; for, by `the sons of Aaron,' may be understood his descendants and successors in the high priesthood, in their generations.
