Leviticus 2:12 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 2:12

As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer
them unto the Lord
Or "in" or "with the oblation", as some render it; that is, along with the oblation of the firstfruits leaven and honey might be offered: the Arabic version is very express, "but for a sacrifice of firstfruits ye" shall offer both to God; as they might be, as before observed; so the Targum of Jonathan,

``for the leavened bread of the firstfruits shall be offered, and dates in the time of the firstfruits; the fruits with their honey shall be offered, and the priest shall eat them:''

but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour;
which they could not make, and besides were to be the portion of the priests.

Leviticus 2:12 In-Context

10 The rest of the offering belongs to the priests; it is very holy, since it is taken from the food offered to the Lord.

11 None of the grain offerings which you present to the Lord may be made with yeast; you must never use yeast or honey in food offered to the Lord.

12 An offering of the first grain that you harvest each year shall be brought to the Lord, but it is not to be burned on the altar.

13 Put salt on every grain offering, because salt represents the covenant between you and God. (You must put salt on all your offerings.)

14 When you bring to the Lord an offering of the first grain harvested, offer roasted grain or ground meal.
