Levítico 23:14

14 Y no comeréis pan, ni grano tostado, ni espiga fresca, hasta este mismo día, hasta que hayáis ofrecido la ofrenda de vuestro Dios; estatuto perpetuo es por vuestras edades en todas vuestras habitaciones

Levítico 23:14 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 23:14

And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green
ears
That is, they were not allowed to make bread of the new corn, as Aben Ezra and Gersom explain it; for they were obliged to eat unleavened bread at this time: but it might not be made of the new corn, until the above offering was made; nay, they were not allowed to parch any of the grains of corn, and eat them; yea, even they might not pluck and eat the green ears, though of ever so small a quantity. The Jews say ^F17, if it was the quantity of an olive of either of these, a man was to be beaten for it: until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God;
which includes all the offerings on this account, the offering of the firstfruits, the offering of the he lamb, and the meat offering and the drink offering; until these were offered up, the new corn might not be eaten in any form: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations;
until the Messiah came, who is the substance of these shadows: in all your dwellings;
not at Jerusalem only, but in the several parts of the land of Canaan; yea, as Ben Gersom says, whether in the land, or without the land; a later writer says, it is forbidden to eat of the new corn at this time, whether bread, parched corn, or green ears, until the beginning of the night of the eighteenth of Nisan, and in the land of Israel, until the beginning of the night of the seventeenth of Nisan ^F18.

Levítico 23:14 In-Context

12 Y el día que ofrezcáis el omer, ofreceréis un cordero de un año, sin defecto, en holocausto á Jehová.

13 Y su presente será dos décimas de flor de harina amasada con aceite, ofrenda encendida á Jehová en olor suavísimo; y su libación de vino, la cuarta parte de un hin.

14 Y no comeréis pan, ni grano tostado, ni espiga fresca, hasta este mismo día, hasta que hayáis ofrecido la ofrenda de vuestro Dios; estatuto perpetuo es por vuestras edades en todas vuestras habitaciones

15 Y os habéis de contar desde el siguiente día del sábado, desde el día en que ofrecisteis el omer de la ofrenda mecida; siete semanas cumplidas serán:

16 Hasta el siguiente día del sábado séptimo contaréis cincuenta días; entonces ofreceréis nuevo presente a Jehová.
