Jeremiah 7:21 - Exposition

Put your burnt offerings , etc. Throw all your sacrifices into a mass , and eat them at your pleasure. Ye have my perfect permission, for they are of no religions value. According to the Law, the burnt offerings were to be entirely consumed by fire, while the other sacrifices were mostly eaten by the offerers and by their friends. There is a touch of contempt in the phrase, eat flesh ; they are merely pieces of flesh, and ye may eat them.
