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

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 2:1-3

Leviticus 2:1-: . General Ritual.— The term used here for meal offering was originally used for any present, either to God or man ( Genesis 4:3, Genesis 32:14); in P it is confined to vegetable offerings. The material was most probably a somewhat coarse meal, as that used by the Arabs for their sacrifices. Oil is the natural Heb. accompaniment of a baked flour cake. Part of the offering belongs to Yahweh ( i.e. must be burnt), part to the priests; this is the case with all offerings classed... 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.

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.
