THE MEAT OFFERINGS. (Lev. 2:1-16) when any will offer a meat offering--or gift--distinguishing a bloodless from a bloody sacrifice. The word "meat," however, is improper, as its meaning as now used is different from t…

1Cuando alguna persona ofreciere oblación a Jehová, su ofrenda será flor de harina, sobre la cual echará aceite, y pondrá sobre ella incienso,

2y la traerá a los sacerdotes, hijos de Aarón; y de ello tomará el sacerdote su puño lleno de la flor de harina y del aceite, con todo el incienso, y lo hará arder sobre el altar para memorial; ofrenda encendida es, de olor grato a Jehová.

3Y lo que resta de la ofrenda será de Aarón y de sus hijos; es cosa santísima de las ofrendas que se queman para Jehová.

4Cuando ofrecieres ofrenda cocida en horno, será de tortas de flor de harina sin levadura amasadas con aceite, y hojaldres sin levadura untadas con aceite.

5Mas si ofrecieres ofrenda de sartén, será de flor de harina sin levadura, amasada con aceite,

6la cual partirás en piezas, y echarás sobre ella aceite; es ofrenda.

7Si ofrecieres ofrenda cocida en cazuela, se hará de flor de harina con aceite.

8Y traerás a Jehová la ofrenda que se hará de estas cosas, y la presentarás al sacerdote, el cual la llevará al altar.

9Y tomará el sacerdote de aquella ofrenda lo que sea para su memorial, y lo hará arder sobre el altar; ofrenda encendida de olor grato a Jehová.

10Y lo que resta de la ofrenda será de Aarón y de sus hijos; es cosa santísima de las ofrendas que se queman para Jehová.

11Ninguna ofrenda que ofreciereis a Jehová será con levadura; porque de ninguna cosa leuda, ni de ninguna miel, se ha de quemar ofrenda para Jehová.

12Como ofrenda de primicias las ofreceréis a Jehová; mas no subirán sobre el altar en olor grato.

13Y sazonarás con sal toda ofrenda que presentes, y no harás que falte jamás de tu ofrenda la sal del pacto de tu Dios; en toda ofrenda tuya ofrecerás sal.

14Si ofrecieres a Jehová ofrenda de primicias, tostarás al fuego las espigas verdes, y el grano desmenuzado ofrecerás como ofrenda de tus primicias.

15Y pondrás sobre ella aceite, y pondrás sobre ella incienso; es ofrenda.

16Y el sacerdote hará arder el memorial de él, parte del grano desmenuzado y del aceite, con todo el incienso; es ofrenda encendida para Jehová.

the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons'--The circumstance of a portion of it being appropriated to the use of the priests distinguishes this from a burnt offering. They alone were to partake of it within the sacred precincts, as among "the most holy things."

if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven--generally a circular hole excavated in the floor, from one to five feet deep, the sides of which are covered with hardened plaster, on which cakes are baked of the form and thickness of pancakes. (See on Gen 18:6). The shape of Eastern ovens varies considerably according to the nomadic or settled habits of the people.

Versículo 5

baken in a pan--a thin plate, generally of copper or iron, placed on a slow fire, similar to what the country people in Scotland called a "girdle" for baking oatmeal cakes.

part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon--Pouring oil on bread is a common practice among Eastern people, who are fond of broken bread dipped in oil, butter, and milk. Oil only was used in the meat offerings, and probably for a symbolic reason. It is evident that these meat offerings were previously prepared by the offerer, and when brought, the priest was to take it from his hands and burn a portion on the altar.

Versículo 11

ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the Lord--Nothing sweet or sour was to be offered. In the warm climates of the East leavened bread soon spoils, and hence it was regarded as the emblem of hypocrisy or corruption. Some, however, think that the prohibition was that leaven and honey were used in the idolatrous rites of the heathen.

Versículo 12

the oblation of the first-fruits--voluntary offerings made by individuals out of their increase, and leaven and honey might be used with these (Lev 23:17; Num 15:20). Though presented at the altar, they were not consumed, but assigned by God for the use of the priests.

Versículo 13

every . . . meat offering shalt thou season with salt--The same reasons which led to the prohibition of leaven, recommended the use of salt--if the one soon putrefies, the other possesses a strongly preservative property, and hence it became an emblem of incorruption and purity, as well as of a perpetual covenant--a perfect reconciliation and lasting friendship. No injunction in the whole law was more sacredly observed than this application of salt; for besides other uses of it that will be noticed elsewhere, it had a typical meaning referred to by our Lord concerning the effect of the Gospel on those who embrace it (Mar 9:49-50); as when plentifully applied it preserves meat from spoiling, so will the Gospel keep men from being corrupted by sin. And as salt was indispensable to render sacrifices acceptable to God, so the Gospel, brought home to the hearts of men by the Holy Ghost, is indispensably requisite to their offering up of themselves as living sacrifices [BROWN].

a meat offering of thy first-fruits--From the mention of "green ears," this seems to have been a voluntary offering before the harvest--the ears being prepared in the favorite way of Eastern people, by parching them at the fire, and then beating them out for use. It was designed to be an early tribute of pious thankfulness for the earth's increase, and it was offered according to the usual directions. Next: Leviticus Chapter 3
