Leviticus 2:6 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 2:6

Thou shalt part it in pieces
This answered to the dividing of the pieces of the burnt offering, ( Leviticus 1:6 Leviticus 1:12 ) and signified the same thing; (See Gill on Leviticus 1:6) (See Gill on Leviticus 1:12) All meat offerings, it is said ^F12, that were prepared in a vessel, were obliged to be cut to pieces; the meat offering of an Israelite, one (cake) was doubled into two, and two into four, and then divided, each piece was about the quantity of an olive:

and pour oil thereon;
after parted into pieces, (See Gill on Leviticus 2:4)

[it is] a meat offering;
as well as that of fine flour, or that which was baked in an oven.
