利未記 2:14 RCUVTS

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 2:14

(14) And if thou offer.—The third kind of meat offering (Leviticus 2:14-16) is of the firstfruits. These verses should properly come immediately after Leviticus 2:12, since Leviticus 2:13 concludes the directions about the different kinds of minchas or bloodless offerings, with general remarks applying to all animal sacrifices. Such transpositions are not uncommon in the Hebrew Scriptures. Parched or roasted corn, as here described, was, and still is, a favourite article of food in the East... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 2:1-16

THE MEAL OFFERINGLeviticus 2:1-16; Leviticus 6:14-23THE word which in the original uniformly stands for the English "meal offering" (A.V "meat offering," i.e., " food offering") primarily means simply "a present," and is often properly so translated in the Old Testament. It is, for example, the word which is used {; Genesis 32:13} when we are told how Jacob sent a present to Esau his brother; or, later, of the gift sent by Israel to his son Joseph in Egypt; {Genesis 43:11} and, {; 2 Samuel 8:2}... read more

2. The Meal Offering CHAPTER 2 1. The general instruction (Leviticus 2:1-3 ) 2. Baked in the oven (Leviticus 2:4 ) 3. Baked in a pan (Leviticus 2:5-6 ) 4. Baked in a frying pan (Leviticus 2:7 ) 5. Presented unto the priest (Leviticus 2:8-11 ) 6. The oblation of the firstfruits (Leviticus 2:12-16 ) The word “meat” should be changed throughout this chapter to “meal.” This offering or oblation is closely connected with the burnt offering. No doubt it could not be brought apart from... read more

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

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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 2:14-16

All offerings to the LORD must be of the first and best. To offer otherwise is mockery. Malachi 1:14 . And is not the LORD JESUS here again set forth? Was he not the first and best, and offered to GOD, an offering in the prime of life? And was he not presented with the sacrifice of fire? Hebrews 9:14 . 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 Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Leviticus 2:12-16

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
