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

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 2:3

(3) And the remnant.—With the exception of the memorial or the handful of flour and oil, and of all the frankincense, this meat offering belonged to the priests, who divided it among them, and by whom alone it was to be consumed in the court of the sanctuary.A thing most holy.—The offerings consisted of two classes, less holy and most holy. The thank offerings (Leviticus 23:20; Numbers 6:20), the firstborn of clean sacrificed animals (Numbers 18:17), the firstlings of oil, wine, and corn, and... read more

(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

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 2:5

(5) Baken in a pan.—Better, a flat plate. This is probably the iron fire-plate (Ezekiel 5:3), with a convex surface, which is placed horizontally upon stones about nine inches from the ground, and underneath which the fire is kindled, used by the Arabs to this day. The large thin cakes, and the thin wafer bread, are laid upon the convex surface, where they are baked in comparatively few minutes. These baking operations took place in the court of the sanctuary, where the vessels of ministration... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 2:6

(6) Thou shalt part it in pieces.—The cake thus baked was not to be offered as a whole, but broken up in pieces and mingled with oil. Bread, broken in pieces and steeped in oil, butter, milk, or sweet juices, still constitutes a favourite dish among the Bedouin Arabs. 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
