The priest shall burn the memorial of it,.... That which is taken out of it for a memorial, the same with the handful of fine flour and cakes of the meat offering:part of the beaten corn thereof; or that which was ground in a mill:and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; as was done in the other meat offerings:it is an offering made by fire unto the Lord, see Le 2:2.
