Lévitique 2:7

7 Si ton offrande est un gâteau cuit sur le gril, il sera fait de fleur de farine pétrie à l'huile.

Lévitique 2:7 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 2:7

And if thy oblation [be] a meat offering [baken] in the
fryingpan
It is asked ^F13, what difference there is between the pan, and the fryingpan? the fryingpan has a cover, but the pan has no cover; the fryingpan is deep, and its works (or paste) flow, or are thin, but the pan is extended, and its works (or paste) are hard or stiff; which Maimonides ^F14 explains thus, the fryingpan is a deep vessel, which has a lip or edge round about it, and the paste which is baked in it is thin and flows; the pan is a vessel which has no lip or edge, and therefore its paste is hard or stiff, that it flow not: now all these acts of mixing the flour, and kneading, and baking, and frying, and cutting in pieces, as well as burning part on the altar, signify the dolorous sufferings of Christ when he was sacrificed for us, to be both an atonement for our sins, and food for our faith:

it shall be made of fine flour with oil:
as the other sort of meat offerings before mentioned.

Lévitique 2:7 In-Context

5 Si ton offrande est un gâteau cuit à la poêle, il sera de fleur de farine pétrie à l'huile, sans levain.

6 Tu le rompras en morceaux, et tu verseras de l'huile dessus; c'est une offrande.

7 Si ton offrande est un gâteau cuit sur le gril, il sera fait de fleur de farine pétrie à l'huile.

8 Tu apporteras l'offrande qui sera faite à l'Eternel avec ces choses-là; elle sera remise au sacrificateur, qui la présentera sur l'autel.

9 Le sacrificateur en prélèvera ce qui doit être offert comme souvenir, et le brûlera sur l'autel. C'est une offrande d'une agréable odeur à l'Eternel.
