Contextual Overview

1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses, saying, 2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, Whe ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I giue vnto you, 3 And will make an offring by fire vnto the Lorde, a burnt offring or a sacrifice to fulfil a vowe, or a free offring, or in your feastes, to make a sweete sauour vnto the Lord of the hearde, or of the flocke. 4 Then let him that offreth his offring vnto the Lorde, bring a meate offring of a tenth deale of fine flowre, mingled with the fourth part of an Hin of oyle. 5 Also thou shalt prepare ye fourth part of an Hin of wine to be powred on a lambe, appointed for the burnt offring or any offring. 6 And for a ram, thou shalt for a meat offring, prepare two tenth deales of fine floure, mingled with the third part of an Hin of oyle. 7 And for a drinke ofring, thou shalt offer the third part of an Hin of wine, for a sweete sauour vnto the Lord. 8 And when thou preparest a bullocke for a burnt offring, or for a sacrifice to fulfill a vowe or a peace offring to the Lord, 9 Then let him offer with ye bullocke a meate offring of three tenth deales of fine floure, mingled with halfe an Hin of oyle. 10 And thou shalt bring for a drinke offring halfe an Hin of wine, for an offring made by fire of a sweete sauour vnto 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.
