Leviticus 7:14

14 He must bring one of each kind of bread as an offering. One kind is made with yeast. The other is not. Both of them are a gift to the Lord. They belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the friendship offerings.

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 " 'Suppose he offers a friendship offering to show he is thankful. Then together with the thank offering he must offer flat cakes of bread. He must make them without yeast. He must mix them with olive oil. Or he must offer wafers that are made without yeast. He must spread oil on them. Or he must offer flat cakes that are made out of fine flour. He must add oil to it. He must work the flour and mix it well.

13 " 'He must bring another friendship offering along with his thank offering. It should be flat cakes of bread that are made with yeast.

14 He must bring one of each kind of bread as an offering. One kind is made with yeast. The other is not. Both of them are a gift to the Lord. They belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the friendship offerings.

15 " 'The person must eat the meat from his thank offering on the day he offers it. He must not leave any of it until morning.

16 " 'But suppose he brings a friendship offering to keep a promise he has made. Or suppose he brings an offering he chooses to give. Then he must eat the sacrifice on the day he offers it. But if anything is left over, he may eat it the next day.
