What is the significance of the phrase "And this is the law of the grain offering"?

Leviticus 6:14 (ESV)

14 “And this is the law of the grain offering. The sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD in front of the altar.

The next section begins with the introductory formula, “And this is the law.” As the regulations for the grain offering (Leviticus 2:1–16) follow those for the burnt offering (Leviticus 1:1–17), so the same sequence appears here. In Leviticus 2:1–16, the reader learnt that the grain offering represented the worshipper's loyal devotion and dedication to the Lord. It was, in other words, a public expression of commitment.
