Leviticus 2:12

12 primitias tantum eorum offeretis et munera super altare vero non ponentur in odorem suavitatis

Leviticus 2:12 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 2:12

As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer
them unto the Lord
Or "in" or "with the oblation", as some render it; that is, along with the oblation of the firstfruits leaven and honey might be offered: the Arabic version is very express, "but for a sacrifice of firstfruits ye" shall offer both to God; as they might be, as before observed; so the Targum of Jonathan,

``for the leavened bread of the firstfruits shall be offered, and dates in the time of the firstfruits; the fruits with their honey shall be offered, and the priest shall eat them:''

but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour;
which they could not make, and besides were to be the portion of the priests.

Leviticus 2:12 In-Context

10 quicquid autem reliquum est erit Aaron et filiorum eius sanctum sanctorum de oblationibus Domini
11 omnis oblatio quae offertur Domino absque fermento fiet nec quicquam fermenti ac mellis adolebitur in sacrificio Domini
12 primitias tantum eorum offeretis et munera super altare vero non ponentur in odorem suavitatis
13 quicquid obtuleris sacrificii sale condies nec auferes sal foederis Dei tui de sacrificio tuo in omni oblatione offeres sal
14 sin autem obtuleris munus primarum frugum tuarum Domino de spicis adhuc virentibus torres eas igni et confringes in morem farris et sic offeres primitias tuas Domino
