Leviticus 2:9-10

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 2:7-13

The offering of daily life. It is interesting to perceive how the instructions here recorded made it possible for all classes of the people to bring sacrifices to Jehovah. None could complain of want of sufficient means or of the necessary cooking utensils. All such objections are forestalled by these inclusive arrangements. Whether consisting of "cakes" or "wafers," whether baked on a fiat iron plate or boiled in a pot, the offering was lawful and acceptable. How, then, can we imagine... 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

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'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

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 2:1-16

THE MEAL OFFERINGLeviticus 2:1-16; Leviticus 6:14-23THE word which in the original uniformly stands for the English "meal offering" (A.V "meat offering," i.e., " food offering") primarily means simply "a present," and is often properly so translated in the Old Testament. It is, for example, the word which is used {; Genesis 32:13} when we are told how Jacob sent a present to Esau his brother; or, later, of the gift sent by Israel to his son Joseph in Egypt; {Genesis 43:11} and, {; 2 Samuel 8:2}... read more

2. The Meal Offering CHAPTER 2 1. The general instruction (Leviticus 2:1-3 ) 2. Baked in the oven (Leviticus 2:4 ) 3. Baked in a pan (Leviticus 2:5-6 ) 4. Baked in a frying pan (Leviticus 2:7 ) 5. Presented unto the priest (Leviticus 2:8-11 ) 6. The oblation of the firstfruits (Leviticus 2:12-16 ) The word “meat” should be changed throughout this chapter to “meal.” This offering or oblation is closely connected with the burnt offering. No doubt it could not be brought apart from... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 2:1-16

THE MEAL OFFERING (vv. 1-16) This offering is an appendix to the burnt offering. We do not read of a meal offering ever being offered alone, but in connection with the burnt offering or the peace offering. For this was not a blood sacrifice, and in approaching God a blood sacrifice was imperative. The meal offering does not speak at all of the blood shedding of the Lord Jesus, but rather of the perfection of His humanity displayed in His life on earth. In this respect His entire life was an... read more
