Contextual Overview

1Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2"Speak to the Israelites and say to them, 'When you come into the land where you are to live, which I am giving you, 3then make an offering by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering or a sacrifice to fulfill a special vow, or as a freewill offering or in your appointed feasts, to make a sweet and soothing aroma to the LORD, from the herd or from the flock. 4'The one who presents his offering shall present to the LORD a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a fourth of a hin of oil, 5and you shall prepare wine for the drink offering, a fourth of a hin, with the burnt offering or for the sacrifice, for each lamb. 6'Or for a ram you shall prepare as a grain offering two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a third of a hin of oil. 7'And for the drink offering you shall offer a third of a hin of wine, as a sweet and soothing aroma to the LORD. 8'When you prepare a bull as a burnt offering or as a sacrifice, in fulfilling a special vow or peace offering to the LORD, 9then you shall offer with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil; 10and you shall bring as the drink offering one-half a hin of wine as an offering by fire, as a sweet and soothing aroma to the LORD.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

The oblation before prescribed seems to have been a general acknowledgment from the people at large; but this was an oblation from every one that reaped a harvest: who was required, previously to tasting it himself, to offer a portion of dough as a heave-offering to the Lord. This is supposed to have been given to the priests in their several cities, and not carried to the tabernacle. Joshua 5:11, Joshua 5:12

Reciprocal: Exodus 29:28 - is an heave Leviticus 7:14 - an heave Leviticus 23:17 - the firstfruits Numbers 18:12 - the firstfruits Numbers 18:19 - the heave Nehemiah 10:37 - the firstfruits Ezekiel 44:30 - all the firstfruits

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then it shall be, that when ye eat of the bread of the land,.... Of the land of Canaan; when they were about to eat of it, before they actually did; when they were preparing for it, had ground their corn into flour, and had mixed it with water and kneaded it into dough, in order to bake it and make it fit for food; by bread is meant bread corn, such as was the old corn of the land the Israelites first ate of when they entered into it, Joshua 5:11; the Targum of Jonathan adds,

"not of rice, or millet, or pulse,''

but what was made of corn used for bread; and the Jews say n, there were five things only they were obliged to make the cake of, wheat, barley, "cusmin" or rye, fox ear (barley), and oats; and this is to be understood only of dough made for men's bread, and not for dogs or any other beast o:

ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the Lord; and what that is, is expressed in Numbers 15:20.

n Misn. Challah, c. 1. sect. 1. o Schulchan Aruch, ut supra, (par. 2.) c. 330. sect. 8, 9.
