Leviticus 2:11 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

We read before of GOD'S solemn prohibition of leaven. Exodus 12:15. No doubt some important doctrine was veiled under this covering. And what more likely, than to teach, that a whole Savior, and not leavened with the supposed merit of our creature works, is the true, and only redemption, for the soul. Galatians 6:14. Perhaps, the prohibition, of the use of honey, in those offerings by fire, was, because it was so likely to ferment, and thereby of itself when mixed with flour, make leaven, without the intention of the Israelites.

Leviticus 2:11

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.
