Meal-Offerings with Oil and Incense Leviticus 2:1-16 The meal-offering, which is described in this chapter, portrayed in emblem the perfect character of our Lord. He was as fine flour, of the best quality, without grit or coarseness. There was nothing uneven, nothing rough and harsh, nothing unseemly or forbidding in Him. He was anointed with the oil of the Holy Spirit; His perfect obedience was fragrant to the Father, and should be so to us; there was no leaven of guile or hypocrisy in His... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 2:1-16

In the meal offering was presented another side of the great truth of personal dedication. In itself the offering was of the work of man's hands, the fruits of the ground, the result of civilization, manufacture, and preparation. Through it the people were ever reminded that their approach to God demanded that they offer to Him a perfect service as well as a perfect life. Dedication of life is a condition for service. Service is its true reason and finest expression. A man whose life is... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 2:11-13

The Grain Offering Must Not Contain Anything That Corrupts But What Preserves (Leviticus 2:11-13 ). It is now pointed out that the Grain Offering must not contain anything that ferments, neither leaven nor honey. Rather it must positively be seasoned with salt as a preservative. The emphasis is on its unalloyed purity and its continual permanence in that state. Leviticus 2:11-12 ‘No grain-offering, which you (plural) shall offer to Yahweh, shall be made with leaven, for you (pl) shall burn no... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 2:4-13

Leviticus 2:4-1 Chronicles : . Additional Directions.— The different kinds of meal offerings, and some further general rules. The offering might be in the form of thin wafers, or of “ girdle cakes” (a baking pan is a flat plate or grid), or small “ puddings” (in which case the oil is necessary as flavouring)— whichever form is most convenient in view of the worshipper’ s mé nage. Leaven (see Exodus 23:18), like honey, will set up fermentation, or go sour. For this reason it is, perhaps,... read more

Bloodless Sacrifices: The food-OfferingsSUGGESTIVE READINGSLeviticus 2:1. His offering shall be of fine flour.—Sacrifices for the “meat offering” were from the vegetable, not animal, kingdom. Food offering more expresses the idea. Prepared from wheat, and presented in various forms; fine flour, and cakes of four different kinds, and wheat in the grain.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Leviticus 2:1-16

Chapter 2In chapter two the next offering that we have is the meal offering. And this they would take the fine flour, mix it with oil and frankincense, and make up a dough that they would put on the fire to more or less bake unto the Lord. Now, these things bespeak the work of man's hand. I am bringing flour, mixing it with oil. Where did I get the flour? I had to till the soil. I had to plant the seed. I had to harvest the seed. I had to thresh the seed. I had to grind the seed into flour... read more

Leviticus 2:1. When any (Hebrews nephesh) soul; to denote that true religion is seated in the heart. Offer a meat-offering (Hebrews mincha) which Aquila renders, a gift of wheat to the Lord. Leviticus 2:13. Salt of the covenant must not be lacking, as is often noticed. The rabbins, as well as the primitive christian doctors, seem agreed that salt here signifies incorruption, and the good savour of piety. Salt preserves flesh, and the alkali in limestone ranges will preserve fish;... read more
