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 2:4-10

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

Donald C. Fleming

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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Leviticus 2:4

"And when thou offerest an oblation of a meal-offering baken in an oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. And if thy oblation be a meal-offering of the baking pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil. Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon; it shall be a meal-offering, And if thy oblation be a meal-offering of the frying pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. And thou shalt bring the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 2:1-16

[See the Chapter Comments for Leviticus Chapter 1 for introductory information]2. The meal offering ch. 2The meal (grain, cereal) offering was also an offering of worship that brought God pleasure. It evidently symbolized the sacrifice and commitment of one’s person and works to God as well as the worshiper’s willingness to keep the law (cf. Romans 12:1-2; Hebrews 13:15-16). A meal offering always followed the official daily burnt offering (cf. Numbers 28), and it often accompanied a peace... read more

John Dummelow

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 2:1-16

The Meal OfferingThe rendering of AV meat offering is liable to misunderstanding, as meat now suggests flesh meat. But this is a vegetable, or bloodless, sacrifice, a consecration to God of the produce of the field. Its principal constituent is fine flour, which may be presented either raw (Leviticus 2:1-3), or baked into cakes in the oven (Leviticus 2:4), or in a pan (Leviticus 2:5-6), or boiled in a pot (Leviticus 2:7). The meal is mixed with oil and salt, as when used for food, but no leaven... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 2:4

(4) A meat offering baked in the oven.—The second kind of meat offering consisted of preparations baked with oil in the oven, or in the pan, or cooked in a pot (Leviticus 2:4-10). The oven is probably the portable pot, open at the top, about three feet high and liable to be broken (Leviticus 11:35), which is still used in the East for making bread and cakes. After the vessel is thoroughly heated, the dough, which is made into large, thin, oval cakes resembling pancakes or Scotch oatcakes, is... read more
