Verse 1
Lev 2:1 And when any will offer a meat offering unto the LORD, his offering shall be [of] fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:
Ver. 1. Of fine flour. ] No quantity is here prescribed, because it was a freewill offering: only it must be fine, no bran in it: to show the purity of Christ’s sacrifice, Heb 7:26 and of our services through him, Mal 3:11 by means of the oil of his Spirit and incense of his intercession.
Verse 2
Lev 2:2 And he shall bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, [to be] an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD:
Ver. 2. Shall burn the memorial of it. ] Whereby God was reminded, as it were, of the party offering, and acknowledging all his store to be from God.
Verse 3
Lev 2:3 And the remnant of the meat offering [shall be] Aaron’s and his sons’: [it is] a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
Ver. 3. Shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.] As meat for them. Hence it was called a meat offering; and sent them to Christ, the meat that endureth unto life everlasting. Joh 6:27
Verse 4
Lev 2:4 And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven, [it shall be] unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.
Ver. 4. Unleavened cake of fine flour mingled with oil. ] Sincerity is the mother of serenity; truth, of tranquillity.
Verse 5
Lev 2:5 And if thy oblation [be] a meat offering [baken] in a pan, it shall be [of] fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.
Ver. 5. Baken in a pan. ] Afterwards parted in pieces, and oil poured upon it: signifying the graces of God’s Spirit wherewith Christ was fully anointed within and without, Psa 45:8 and wherewith we should be tempered and anointed. 1 John 2:27 2Co 1:21
Verse 6
Lev 2:6 Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it [is] a meat offering.
Ver. 6. And pour oil thereon. ] Jacob was the first we read of that consecrated his offerings with oil. Gen 28:18 Probably he had it from his predecessors.
Verse 7
Lev 2:7 And if thy oblation [be] a meat offering [baken] in the fryingpan, it shall be made [of] fine flour with oil.
Ver. 7. Baken in the frying pan. ] So, My heart is frying of a good matter, saith David. Psa 45:1
Verse 8
Lev 2:8 And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto the LORD: and when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the altar.

Ver. 9. A memorial thereof. ] Signifying the perpetual benefit of Christ’s death to all believers.
Verse 10
Lev 2:10 And that which is left of the meat offering [shall be] Aaron’s and his sons’: [it is] a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
Ver. 10. Shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.] Ministers’ maintenance.
Verse 11
Lev 2:11 No meat offering, which ye shall bring unto the LORD, shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the LORD made by fire.
Ver. 11. Nor any honey. ] Which hath a leavening virtue in it. Sweet sins are to be abandoned there will be bitterness in the end. Pro 26:26-27
Verse 12

Lev 2:13 And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.
Ver. 13. Shalt thou season with salt. ] Called here the salt of God’s covenant; as signifying the covenant of God made with us in Christ, who seasoneth us, and makes all our services savoury. See the note on Mark 9:49-50 .
