Context of Leviticus 2:10

8He must give the cake to the priest. The priest will take it to the altar. 9He will take a piece of it and he will burn it in the fire. It is a gift to the Lord. The smell of it while it is burning will give the Lord pleasure. The part of the cake that he did not burn is for the priests. That is because it is most holy, part of a burnt offering to the Lord. 11A person must not use yeast when he gives a gift of grain to the Lord. He must not give yeast or honey for the priests to burn as gifts to the Lord. 12He can give them as the first part of his harvest. He must not burn them on the fire. He cannot use them to give the Lord pleasure.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-16The grain offering (Hebrew minkhah, meaning “gift” or “present”) allowed people to worship the Lord by giving a gift.

The grain offering provided bread for the priest's daily needs, as priests did not have farmland.Read the comment

The word "meat," however, is improper, as its meaning as now used is different from that attached at the date of our English translation.
