Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 2:1-10

There were some meat-offerings that were only appendices to the burnt-offerings, as that which was offered with the daily sacrifice (Exod. 29:38, 39) and with the peace-offerings; these had drink-offerings joined with them (see Num. 15:4, 7, 9, 10), and in these the quantity was appointed. But the law of this chapter concerns those meat-offerings that were offered by themselves, whenever a man saw cause thus to express his devotion. The first offering we read of in scripture was of this kind... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 2:7

And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in the fryingpan ,.... It is asked F13 Misn. Menachot. c. 5. sect. 8. , what difference there is between the pan, and the fryingpan? the fryingpan has a cover, but the pan has no cover; the fryingpan is deep, and its works (or paste) flow, or are thin, but the pan is extended, and its works (or paste) are hard or stiff; which Maimonides F14 Misn. ib. & Maaseh Hakorbanot, c. 5. sect. 7. Vid. Jarchi & Gersom & Ben Melech in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 2:9

And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial thereof ,.... That is, an handful of it; as of the fine flour, Leviticus 2:2 so of the pieces of that which was baked, whether in the oven, or pan, or fryingpan: and shall burn it upon the altar ; the memorial or handful: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord ; See Gill on Leviticus 1:9 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 2:10

And that which is left of the meat offering ,.... Not burnt with fire: shall be Aaron's and his sons' ; the high priest took his part first, and then the common priests: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire ; See Gill on Leviticus 2:3 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 2:7

The frying-pan - מרחשת marchesheth , supposed to be the same with that called by the Arabs a ta - jen , a shallow earthen vessel like a frying-pan, used not only to fry in, but for other purposes. On the different instruments, as well as the manner of baking in the east, Mr. Harmer, in his observations on select passages of Scripture, has collected the following curious information. "Dr. Shaw informs us that in the cities and villages of Barbary, there are public ovens, but that... read more

Thou shalt bring the meat-offering - It is likely that the person himself who offered the sacrifice brought it to the priest, and then the priest presented it before the Lord. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 2:1-10

The feast upon the minchah. In our remarks upon the two first of these verses, we viewed the minchah , or meat offering, as a type of Christ. Upon this point additional light may be incidentally thrown as we now proceed to consider the feast upon the minchah . For this we hold to be designed to represent our fellowship with God in Christ. I. FEASTS HAVE EVER BEEN REGARDED AS TOKENS OF FRIENDSHIP . 1. Secular history abounds in examples. 2 . Sacred... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 2:1-11

Consecrated life-work, as brought out in the meat offering. cf. John 4:34 ; Acts 10:4 ; Philippians 4:18 ; John 6:27 . The idea prominently presented in the burnt offering is, we have seen, personal consecration, on the ground of expiation and acceptance through a substitute. In the meat offering, to which we now address ourselves, we find the further and supplementary idea of consecrated life-work. For the fine flour presented was the product of labour, the actual outcome... read more
