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'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's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 2:14-15

First Fruit Offerings On The Altar. Leviticus 2:14-15 ‘And if you (sing.) offer a grain-offering of first-fruits to Yahweh, you shall offer for the grain-offering of your first-fruits grain in the ear parched with fire, bruised grain of the fresh ear (or ‘of the fruitful field’). And you shall put oil on it, and lay frankincense on it. It is a grain-offering.’ Having forbidden the offering of leaven and honey on the altar, even though they can be offered as first-fruits, he now indicates what... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 2:14-16

Leviticus 2:14-Nehemiah : . Meal Offering as Firstfruits.— These are not to be offered “ raw,” but if from garden growth (RV, “ fresh ear” ) in the form of bruised grits. The ritual is as in Leviticus 2:1-:. The part of it which is burnt is called a “ memorial” ; this term is regularly connected with the term “ offering made by fire.” Its original is probably the ritual calling upon the name of Yahweh (calling the sacrifice to His remembrance) which would accompany the actual burning, the... read more

If thou offer a meat-offering of thy first-fruits, to wit, of thine own free will; for there were other first-fruits, and that of several sorts, which were prescribed, and the time, quality, and proportion of them appointed by God. See Leviticus 23:10. read more

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. Food offering more expresses the idea. Prepared from wheat, and presented in various forms; fine flour, and cakes of four different kinds, and wheat in the grain. These were products of husbandry, not spontaneous growths entailing no anxiety in provision, or labour in preparation; they represent human... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Leviticus 2:1-16

Chapter 2In chapter two the next offering that we have is the meal offering. And this they would take the fine flour, mix it with oil and frankincense, and make up a dough that they would put on the fire to more or less bake unto the Lord. Now, these things bespeak the work of man's hand. I am bringing flour, mixing it with oil. Where did I get the flour? I had to till the soil. I had to plant the seed. I had to harvest the seed. I had to thresh the seed. I had to grind the seed into flour... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 2:1-16

Leviticus 2:1. When any (Hebrews nephesh) soul; to denote that true religion is seated in the heart. Offer a meat-offering (Hebrews mincha) which Aquila renders, a gift of wheat to the Lord. Leviticus 2:13. Salt of the covenant must not be lacking, as is often noticed. The rabbins, as well as the primitive christian doctors, seem agreed that salt here signifies incorruption, and the good savour of piety. Salt preserves flesh, and the alkali in limestone ranges will preserve fish;... read more
