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 2:3
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

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 2:4-11
The second form of meat offering, when the flour and oil were made up into four varieties of cakes. The ritual of offering is not different from that of the first form. The frankincense is not mentioned, but doubtless is understood. The rabbinical rule, that meat offerings, when following upon burnt offerings or peace offerings, had no frankincense burnt with them, rests on no solid foundation. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 2:4-16
The various kinds of meat offerings. Without dwelling on every minute regulation, the following main points may be distinguished as representative. I. OFFERED FOOD . Acknowledgment of dependence. Praise for life and its gifts. Joys and pleasures should be consecrated. The will of God in them and over them. Family worship a duty. Recognition of God in common life. Firstfruits are God's, not the remnant or gleanings of our faculties and opportunities, but all. II. OFFERING ... 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

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 2:4-10
The four kinds of bread and the three cooking utensils which are mentioned in this section were probably such as were in common use in the daily life of the Israelites; and there appears no reason to doubt that they were such as are still used in the East. The variety of the offerings was most likely permitted to suit the different circumstances of the worshippers.Leviticus 2:4Oven - This was probably a portable vessel of earthenware; in shape a cone about 3 ft. 6 in. high, and 1 ft. 6 in. in... 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
