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

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Leviticus 2:1-16

THE MEAL AND PEACE OFFERINGS THE MEAL OFFERING (Leviticus 2:0 ) We call the second offering the “meal” instead of the meat offering, following the Revised Version. The burnt and meal offerings really belong together. They are both offerings of consecration, and when the one was presented the other followed as a kind of appendage (see Leviticus 23:12-13 ; Leviticus 23:18 ; Numbers 28:7-15 ; Judges 13:19 ; Ezra 7:17 ; etc.). We have seen that the burnt offering was entirely consumed upon... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Leviticus 2:1-16

The Meat-offering Lev 2:12-16 We have been accustomed to the terms "burnt-offering," "offering of the flocks," "offering of the fowls," "the burnt sacrifice," "an offering made by fire of sweet savour unto the Lord," now we read of a "meat-offering." Is there, then, already in these ancient writings some hint of appropriation, participation in a sacred feast? The other offerings stand outside of us; we do not know all the meaning of the mysterious flame; it is something done by us under the... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 2:3

The presentation to the priest no doubt meant to imply, that all is the LORD'S. So in the gospel, the same is read to us in every ordinance; CHRIST is all, and in all. Of thine own LORD do we give thee. 1 Corinthians 9:13 ; Numbers 18:12 . read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 2:4-10

All these directions, had no doubt, some spiritual signification, for the fire with which they were to be prepared and offered up, evidently pointed to the SPIRIT's work upon the heart, in the presentation of them. Hence the Apostle speaks, in allusion to those services; Philippians 4:18 ; Hebrews 13:15-16 . read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Leviticus 2:3

Holy of holies. That is, most holy; as being dedicated to God, and set aside by his ordinance for the use of his priests. (Challoner) --- All was to be eaten or consumed in the tabernacle. The high priest offered a gomor full of flour and oil, rather baked, every day, chap. vi. 20. (Calmet) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 2:1-11

1-11 Meat-offerings may typify Christ, as presented to God for us, and as being the Bread of life to our souls; but they rather seem to denote our obligation to God for the blessings of providence, and those good works which are acceptable to God. The term "meat" was, and still is, properly given to any kind of provision, and the greater part of this offering was to be eaten for food, not burned. These meat-offerings are mentioned after the burnt-offerings: without an interest in the sacrifice... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Leviticus 2:1-11

The Various Kinds of Meat-offerings. v. 1. And when any will offer a meat-offering unto the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour. This also was an oblation, or gift, brought near to the Lord with the purpose of establishing true fellowship, and could be made by any member of the congregation, no matter whether man or woman. Only the finest wheat flour was to be used in these oblations. And he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon. The incense was not mixed with the flour... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Leviticus 2:1-16

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
