Leviticus 5:12

Context
5:12 He must bring it to the priest and the priest must scoop out from it a handful as its memorial portion 1  and offer it up in smoke on the altar on top of the other gifts of the Lord – it is a sin offering.

Leviticus 10:15

Context
10:15 The thigh of the contribution offering and the breast of the wave offering they must bring in addition to the gifts of the fat parts to wave them as a wave offering before the Lord, and it will belong to you and your sons with you for a perpetual statute just as the Lord has commanded.”

Leviticus 21:21

Context
21:21 No man from the descendants of Aaron the priest who has a physical flaw may step forward 2  to present the Lord’s gifts; he has a physical flaw, so he must not step forward to present the food of his God.

1 sn The “memorial portion” (אַזְכָּרָה, ’azkkarah) was the part of the grain offering that was burnt on the altar (Lev 2:2), as opposed to the remainder, which was normally consumed by the priests (Lev 2:3; see the full regulations in Lev 6:14-23 [6:7-16 HT]). It was probably intended to call to mind (i.e., memorialize) before the Lord the reason for the presentation of the particular offering (see the remarks in R. E. Averbeck, NIDOTTE 1:335-39).

2 tn Or “shall approach” (see HALOT 670 s.v. נגשׁ).
