The Pulpit Commentary on Leviticus 6:14-18

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

The further ritual of the meat offering (see note on Leviticus 2:1). The greater part of it is to be given to the priests, and they and the males of their families are to eat it without adding leaven to it.

With unleavened bread shall it be eaten (Leviticus 6:16) should rather be rendered, Unleavened shall it be eaten. Not only is it most holy itself, but every one (or rather everything) that toucheth the offerings shall be holy.

The touch of the offering conveys the character of holiness to the thing touched, which must, therefore, itself be treated as holy.
