Leviticus 7:14 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 7:14

And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation
[for] an heave offering unto the Lord
That is, one out of the unleavened cakes, and out of the unleavened wafers, and out of the cakes fried, and out of the cakes leavened; lo, says Aben Ezra, four at least, and the truth is, adds he, there were ten; and so Maimonides ^F8 says, the priest took out of all the four cakes, one out of every sort, as it is said, "and of it he shall offer one"

and it shall be the priest's that sprinkleth the blood of the peace
offerings;
that is, that part of the cakes and bread, which is offered as an heave offering to the Lord, was the portion of the priests; and so Maimonides ^F9 says,

``the bread waved (rather heaved) with the thank offering was eaten by the priests, and the rest of the bread by the owners.''

Leviticus 7:14 In-Context

12 If he offers it in thanksgiving, then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving he shall offer unleavened cakes mixed with olive oil, unleavened wafers coated with oil, and well-kneaded cakes of fine flour mixed with oil.

13 Along with his peace offering of thanksgiving he is to present an offering with cakes of leavened bread.

14 From the cakes he must present one portion of each offering as a contribution to the LORD. It belongs to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offering.

15 The meat of the sacrifice of his peace offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the day he offers it; none of it may be left until morning.

16 If, however, the sacrifice he offers is a vow or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day he presents his sacrifice, but the remainder may be eaten on the next day.
