Leviticus 7:12 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

If he offer it for a thanksgiving— The sacred writer now proceeds to speak of peace-offerings; which were of different sorts, and attended with different rites. They were either gratulatory, as here, or votive, or voluntary; see Leviticus 7:16. What we render for a thanksgiving, is, in the Hebrew, תודה על al todah, for confession or ascribing glory and praise to God for mercies received: Compare Hebrews 13:15. The ands in this verse, should be rendered by or; cakes mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers—or cakes, &c.
