The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 2:1-16

The meat offering. It consisted of a gift to God of the products of the earth most needed for the support of life—flour and oil, to which were added salt and frankincense, and it was generally accompanied by the drink offering of wine. It was offered to God in token of the recognition of his almighty power which gave the corn, the olive, and the vine, and of the submission of the creature to him, the merciful Creator. I. IT WAS A GIFT OF HOMAGE . As such, it had a meaning... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 2:1-16

Our recognition of the hand of God in the blessings of life. The fact that the law of the meat offering follows that of the burnt offering is itself significant. It suggests— I. THE TRUE ORDER OF THE DIVINE LIFE IN MAN . It is, indeed, a mistake for the human teacher to attempt to lay down precise lines of thought and feeling along which souls must move. "The progress of religion in the soul" varies with individual experience. The action of God's Spirit is not... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 2:2

He shall take there out his handful. This was the task of the priest. The handful that he took and burnt upon the altar has the technical and significative name of the memorial. It acted as a memorial before God, in the same way as Cornelius's prayers and alms—"Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God" ( Acts 10:4 )—being something which should cause God to think graciously of the offerer. The frankincense is not mixed with the flour and the oil and the salt, as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 2:3

The remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons'. The meat offerings must have gone far to supply the priests with farinaceous food, as, for every handful of flour burnt on the altar, nearly a gallon went to the priests. They had to eat it within the precincts of the tabernacle, as was the case with all meats that were most holy, viz. the minchahs , the shew-bread, and the flesh of the sin offering and of the trespass offering ( Leviticus 10:12 ). Other meats assigned to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 2:3-10

Priest and people: reciprocal services. Two things are stated in the Law concerning the priesthood. I. THAT EVERY POSSIBLE THING WAS DONE TO IMPART TO THEM PECULIAR SANCTITY . They were separated and sanctified by various ceremonies and services. II. THAT SPECIAL SANCTITY WAS ASSOCIATED IN THE MINDS OF THE PEOPLE WITH THEIR PERSON AND OFFICE . So much so that offerings given to them were lawfully regarded as presented to... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 2:3

A thing most holy - literally, a holy of holies. All offerings were holy, including the portions of the peace-offerings which were eaten by the laity; but that was “most holy” of which every part was devoted either to the altar, or to the use of the priests. Such were the minchaahs, the showbread, the incense, and the flesh of the sin-offerings and trespass-offerings. Compare the similar distinction between places Exodus 26:33. The most holy food was eaten in “the holy place,” that is the... read more

Leviticus 2:2. He shall take That priest to whom he brought it, and who is appointed to offer it. The memorial That part thus selected and offered; which is called a memorial, either, 1st, To the offerer, who by offering this part was reminded, that the whole of that which he brought, and of all which he had of that kind, was God’s, to whom this part was paid as an acknowledgment. Or, 2d, To God, whom (to speak after the manner of men) this did put in mind of his gracious covenant and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 2:1-16

The cereal offering (2:1-16)Products offered in the cereal offering (GNB: grain offering) came from the common food of the people. These offerings were the people’s acknowledgment to God that they received their daily provisions from him. The products offered were therefore both a gift and a thanksgiving. The wine offering, sometimes called the drink offering, had similar significance (see 23:13,18,37).It seems that cereal offerings and wine offerings were never offered alone, but always with... read more
