Among the offerings, aside from the burnt offerings, certain sacrifices were presented on the altar while others were allocated to the priests. This is why the apostle expressed that the priests 'shared with the altar.' The remaining portions of the meat were designated for the needs of the individuals who made the offerings. See also Lev. 1:2.
