Leviticus 2:13

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 2:13

Was not this salt, a striking similitude, of the merits of the Redeemer. Observe the expression, the salt of the covenant of thy GOD. And where JESUS is wanting, what sacrifice can be acceptable? Is not this gracious salt, even the LORD JESUS himself, in his person, and offices, that alone which preserves our souls, from corruption? Mark 9:49 . read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Leviticus 2:13

Salt. In every sacrifice salt was to be used, which is an emblem of wisdom and discretion, without which none of our performances are agreeable to God. (Challoner) --- Salt is not prescribed in the sacrifices of animals. But it was to be used in them, as we learn from the Jews, and from St. Mark ix. 48, Every victim shall be salted. The ancient poets never specify salt in their descriptions of sacrifices. But Pliny assures us, that in his time it was of the greatest authority, and always... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 2:12-16

12-16 Salt is required in all the offerings. God hereby intimates to them that their sacrifices, in themselves, were unsavoury. All religious services must be seasoned with grace. Christianity is the salt of the earth. Directions are given about offering their first-fruits at harvest. If a man, with a thankful sense of God's goodness in giving him a plentiful crop, was disposed to present an offering to God, let him bring the first ripe and full ears. Whatever was brought to God must be the... read more

The Meat-offering of the First-Fruits. v. 12. As for the oblation of the first-fruits, ye shall offer them unto the Lord, bring them as gifts in order to establish or to confirm the fellowship with the Lord; but they shall not be burned on the altar for a sweet savor. In such offerings, therefore, even leaven and honey might be included. v. 13. And every oblation of thy meat-offering shalt thou season with salt, this being both a purifier and a preservative; neither shalt thou suffer the... read more

B.—OBLATIONS (MEAT-OFFERINGS)Leviticus 2:1-161And when any [a soul,1] will offer a meat-offering [an offering of an oblation2] unto the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:3 2and he shall bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with4 all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made... 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

G. Campbell Morgan

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

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

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 2:13

Every oblation of thy meat-offering shalt thou season with salt; either, 1. For the decency and conveniency of the feast, which God would have here represented. Or, 2. For the signification of that incorruption of mind, and sincerity of grace, which in Scripture is signified by salt, Mark 9:49; Colossians 4:6, and which is necessary in all them that would offer an acceptable offering to God. Or, 3. In testimony of that communion which they had with God in these exercises of his worship; salt... read more
