Ramban
AND HE SHALL POUR OIL UPON IT AND PUT FRANKINCENSE THEREON. 2. AND HE SHALL BRING IT TO AARON’S SONS. “This teaches that the pouring of the oil and the mingling of it together with the flour [of the meal-offering] is valid if done by a non-priest. TO AARON’S SONS THE PRIESTS; AND HE SHALL TAKE OUT HIS HANDFUL. From the taking of the handful [for the altar] and onwards is the duty of the priests.” This is the language of Rashi. Now we have to explain that the duty of the priests does not begin with the taking of the handful, for bringing the meal-offering near [to the altar] precedes the taking of the handful, and that too is invalid when done by a non-priest, as He said, and he shall present it unto the priest, and he shall bring it nigh unto the altar,193Further, Verse 8. and afterwards it says, and the priest shall remove from the meal-offering the memorial-part thereof,194Ibid., Verse 9. which is the handful. Thus you see that it is the priest who brings the meal-offering near the altar, to the south-west corner thereof,195See Ramban further, 6:7. and after that he removes the handful [to be burnt on the altar]. So also we have learned [in the Mishnah]:196Kiddushin 36a. “The acts of laying hands upon the offering, the wavings,197These laws applied to certain animal offerings as well as certain meal-offerings. See Menachoth 61a. bringing [the meal-offering] near [to the altar], and removing the handful are performed by men and not by women.” In explanation thereof the Rabbis said [there in the Gemara]:196Kiddushin 36a. “bringing near [can be performed only by men] because it is written, And this is the law of the meal-offering: the sons of Aaron shall bring it198Further, 6:7. — the sons of Aaron but not the daughters of Aaron.” This being the case, the bringing near [of the meal-offering to the altar] is the duty of the sons of Aaron. But the intention of the Sages in saying: “From the taking of the handful and onwards is the duty of the priests” [as quoted by Rashi above], is to say that from this taking of the handful mentioned in this verse and onwards, is the duty of the priests, but not these things which Scripture mentioned here as preceding the taking of the handful, since He mentioned already in this section pouring the oil [and mingling it with the flour], putting the frankincense thereon and bringing it to the priest, and [the priest’s] removing the handful. However, bringing it near to the altar is not mentioned here, [but is stated further on in Seder Tzav 6:7] that all those things stated here before the taking of the handful — namely, pouring the oil and mingling it with the flour, and bringing it to the priest — are valid if done by a non-priest.
Rashi
'וגו זאת תורת העולה THIS IS THE LAW OF THE BURNT OFFERING: [SUCH BURNT OFFERING SHALL REMAIN ON THE FIRE-PLACE UPON THE ALTAR ALL NIGHT] — This paragraph (vv.1—2) is intended to teach, with reference to the burning of the fat-portions and limbs of sacrifices that it is permissible during the whole night (Megillah 21a); and to teach regarding disqualified sacrifices, which of them, if already brought up on the altar, must be taken down, and which, if brought up, need not be taken down. The latter case may happen, because the term, תורה wherever it occurs in Scripture as an introduction to a group of laws (cf. Leviticus 6:7, 18; 7:1,11 etc.) is intended as an all-inclusive term (to include all of the class mentioned); here it is intended to tell us: One law applies to all animals that may be brought up on the altar, even certain disqualified ones — that if these have once been brought up on the altar they shall not be taken down again (Sifra, Tzav, Chapter 1 7; Zevachim 27b).
German Commentary
aber dieses war der für es bestimmte Ort. für das Sprengen des Blutes war die südwestliche Ecke des Altars vorgeschrieben. Anstatt des wegen einer Sünde im Unvermögensfalle darzubringenden Vogelopfers konnte, wenn das Vermögen auch hierzu nicht ausreichte, ein Mehlopfer dargebracht werden (Lev. 5, 11); daraus wird die Bestimmung hergeleitet, dass das Blut des Vogel-Sündopfers an dieselbe Stelle des Altars zu sprengen ist, wohin das Mehlopfer gebracht wurde, für die Hinbringung des Mehlopfers lautet aber die Bestimmung (Lev. 6, 7), dass es hingebracht werden soll: לפני ה׳ אל פני המזבח vor den Ewigen, das ist die Westseite, wo das Allerheiligste lag, und an die Vorderseite, das ist die Südseite des Altars, da der Aufgang zum Altar auf der Südseite war; es wurde deshalb an die Südwestecke, wo Süd- und Westseite zusammenstossen, hingebracht (Talmud).
