Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Leviticus 6:20

_ _ This is the offering of Aaron, and of his sons — the daily meat offering of the high priest; for though his sons are mentioned along with him, it was probably only those of his descendants who succeeded him in that high office that are meant. It was to be offered, one half of it in the morning and the other half in the evening — being daily laid by the ministering priest on the altar of burnt offering, where, being dedicated to God, it was wholly consumed. This was designed to keep him and the other attendant priests in constant remembrance, that though they were typically expiating the sins of the people, their own persons and services could meet with acceptance only through faith, which required to be daily nourished and strengthened from above.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Leviticus 6:14-23.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Leviticus 6:20

When he is anointed — For high — priest for he only of all the priests was to be anointed in future ages. This law of his consecration was delivered before, and is here repeated because of some additions made to it. Perpetual — Whensoever any of them shall be so anointed. At night — Or, in the evening; the one to be annexed to the morning — sacrifice, the other to the evening — sacrifice, over and besides that meal — offering which every day was to be added to the daily morning and evening sacrifices.
