6 Thou shalt part H6626 it in pieces, H6595 and pour H3332 oil H8081 thereon: it is a meat offering. H4503
[[To the chief Musician H5329 upon Aijeleth H365 Shahar, H7837 A Psalm H4210 of David.]] H1732 My God, H410 my God, H410 why hast thou forsaken H5800 me? why art thou so far H7350 from helping H3444 me, and from the words H1697 of my roaring? H7581 O my God, H430 I cry H7121 in the daytime, H3119 but thou hearest H6030 not; and in the night season, H3915 and am not silent. H1747 But thou art holy, H6918 O thou that inhabitest H3427 the praises H8416 of Israel. H3478 Our fathers H1 trusted H982 in thee: they trusted, H982 and thou didst deliver H6403 them. They cried H2199 unto thee, and were delivered: H4422 they trusted H982 in thee, and were not confounded. H954 But I am a worm, H8438 and no man; H376 a reproach H2781 of men, H120 and despised H959 of the people. H5971 All they that see H7200 me laugh me to scorn: H3932 they shoot out H6358 the lip, H8193 they shake H5128 the head, H7218 saying, He trusted H1556 on the LORD H3068 that he would deliver H6403 him: let him deliver H5337 him, seeing he delighted H2654 in him. But thou art he that took H1518 me out of the womb: H990 thou didst make me hope H982 when I was upon my mother's H517 breasts. H7699 I was cast H7993 upon thee from the womb: H7358 thou art my God H410 from my mother's H517 belly. H990 Be not far H7368 from me; for trouble H6869 is near; H7138 for there is none to help. H5826 Many H7227 bulls H6499 have compassed H5437 me: strong H47 bulls of Bashan H1316 have beset me round. H3803 They gaped H6475 upon me with their mouths, H6310 as a ravening H2963 and a roaring H7580 lion. H738 I am poured out H8210 like water, H4325 and all my bones H6106 are out of joint: H6504 my heart H3820 is like wax; H1749 it is melted H4549 in the midst H8432 of my bowels. H4578 My strength H3581 is dried up H3001 like a potsherd; H2789 and my tongue H3956 cleaveth H1692 to my jaws; H4455 and thou hast brought H8239 me into the dust H6083 of death. H4194 For dogs H3611 have compassed H5437 me: the assembly H5712 of the wicked H7489 have inclosed H5362 me: they pierced H3738 H738 my hands H3027 and my feet. H7272 I may tell H5608 all my bones: H6106 they look H5027 and stare H7200 upon me. They part H2505 my garments H899 among them, and cast H5307 lots H1486 upon my vesture. H3830 But be not thou far H7368 from me, O LORD: H3068 O my strength, H360 haste H2363 thee to help H5833 me. Deliver H5337 my soul H5315 from the sword; H2719 my darling H3173 from the power H3027 of the dog. H3611 Save H3467 me from the lion's H738 mouth: H6310 for thou hast heard H6030 me from the horns H7161 of the unicorns. H7214
When Jesus G2424 had spoken G2036 these words, G5023 he went forth G1831 with G4862 his G846 disciples G3101 over G4008 the brook G5493 Cedron, G2748 where G3699 was G2258 a garden, G2779 into G1519 the which G3739 he G846 entered, G1525 and G2532 his G846 disciples. G3101 And G1161 Judas G2455 also, G2532 which G3588 betrayed G3860 him, G846 knew G1492 the place: G5117 for G3754 Jesus G2424 ofttimes G4178 resorted G4863 thither G1563 with G3326 his G846 disciples. G3101 Judas G2455 then, G3767 having received G2983 a band G4686 of men and G2532 officers G5257 from G1537 the chief priests G749 and G2532 Pharisees, G5330 cometh G2064 thither G1563 with G3326 lanterns G5322 and G2532 torches G2985 and G2532 weapons. G3696 Jesus G2424 therefore, G3767 knowing G1492 all things G3956 that should come G2064 upon G1909 him, G846 went forth, G1831 and said G2036 unto them, G846 Whom G5101 seek ye? G2212 They answered G611 him, G846 Jesus G2424 of Nazareth. G3480 Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto them, G846 I G1473 am G1510 he. And G1161 Judas G2455 also, G2532 which G3588 betrayed G3860 him, G846 stood G2476 with G3326 them. G846 As soon G5613 then G3767 as he had said G2036 unto them, G846 G3754 I G1473 am G1510 he, they went G565 backward, G1519 G3694 and G2532 fell G4098 to the ground. G5476 Then G3767 asked he G1905 them G846 again, G3825 Whom G5101 seek ye? G2212 And G1161 they said, G2036 Jesus G2424 of Nazareth. G3480 Jesus G2424 answered, G611 I have told G2036 you G5213 that G3754 I G1473 am G1510 he: if G1487 therefore G3767 ye seek G2212 me, G1691 let G863 these G5128 go their way: G5217 That G2443 the saying G3056 might be fulfilled, G4137 which G3739 he spake, G2036 G3754 Of G1537 them G846 which G3739 thou gavest G1325 me G3427 have I G3756 lost G622 none. G3762 Then G3767 Simon G4613 Peter G4074 having G2192 a sword G3162 drew G1670 it, G846 and G2532 smote G3817 the high priest's G749 servant, G1401 and G2532 cut off G609 his G846 right G1188 ear. G5621 G1161 The servant's G1401 name G3686 was G2258 Malchus. G3124 Then G3767 said G2036 Jesus G2424 unto Peter, G4074 Put up G906 thy G4675 sword G3162 into G1519 the sheath: G2336 the cup G4221 which G3739 my Father G3962 hath given G1325 me, G3427 shall I G4095 not G3378 drink G4095 it? G846 Then G3767 the band G4686 and G2532 the captain G5506 and G2532 officers G5257 of the Jews G2453 took G4815 Jesus, G2424 and G2532 bound G1210 him, G846 And G2532 led G520 him G846 away G520 to G4314 Annas G452 first; G4412 for G1063 he was G2258 father in law G3995 to Caiaphas, G2533 which G3739 was G2258 the high priest G749 that same G1565 year. G1763 Now G1161 Caiaphas G2533 was he, G2258 which G3588 gave counsel G4823 to the Jews, G2453 that G3754 it was expedient G4851 that one G1520 man G444 should die G622 for G5228 the people. G2992 And G1161 Simon G4613 Peter G4074 followed G190 Jesus, G2424 and G2532 so did another G243 disciple: G3101 G1161 that G1565 disciple G3101 was G2258 known G1110 unto the high priest, G749 and G2532 went in with G4897 Jesus G2424 into G1519 the palace G833 of the high priest. G749 But G1161 Peter G4074 stood G2476 at G4314 the door G2374 without. G1854 Then G3767 went out G1831 that other G243 disciple, G3101 which G3739 was G2258 known G1110 unto the high priest, G749 and G2532 spake G2036 unto her that kept the door, G2377 and G2532 brought in G1521 Peter. G4074 Then G3767 saith G3004 the damsel G3814 that kept the door G2377 unto Peter, G4074 Art G1488 not G3361 thou G4771 also G2532 one of G1537 this G5127 man's G444 disciples? G3101 He G1565 saith, G3004 I am G1510 not. G3756 And G1161 the servants G1401 and G2532 officers G5257 stood there, G2476 who had made G4160 a fire of coals; G439 for G3754 it was G2258 cold: G5592 and G2532 they warmed themselves: G2328 and G1161 Peter G4074 stood G2258 G2476 with G3326 them, G846 and G2532 warmed himself. G2328 The high priest G749 then G3767 asked G2065 Jesus G2424 of G4012 his G846 disciples, G3101 and G2532 of G4012 his G846 doctrine. G1322
After G1161 two G1417 days G2250 was G2258 the feast of the passover, G3957 and G2532 of G3326 unleavened bread: G106 and G2532 the chief priests G749 and G2532 the scribes G1122 sought G2212 how G4459 they might take G2902 him G846 by G1722 craft, G1388 and put him to death. G615 But G1161 they said, G3004 Not G3361 on G1722 the feast G1859 day, lest G3379 there be G2071 an uproar G2351 of the people. G2992 And G2532 being G846 G5607 in G1722 Bethany G963 in G1722 the house G3614 of Simon G4613 the leper, G3015 as he G846 sat at meat, G2621 there came G2064 a woman G1135 having G2192 an alabaster box G211 of ointment G3464 of spikenard G3487 G4101 very precious; G4185 and G2532 she brake G4937 the box, G211 and poured G2708 it on G2596 his G846 head. G2776 And G1161 there were G2258 some G5100 that had indignation G23 within G4314 themselves, G1438 and G2532 said, G3004 Why G1519 G5101 was G1096 this G3778 waste G684 of the ointment G3464 made? G1096 For G1063 it G5124 might G1410 have been sold G4097 for more than G1883 three hundred G5145 pence, G1220 and G2532 have been given G1325 to the poor. G4434 And G2532 they murmured against G1690 her. G846 And G1161 Jesus G2424 said, G2036 Let G863 her G846 alone; G863 why G5101 trouble ye G2873 G3930 her? G846 she hath wrought G2038 a good G2570 work G2041 on G1519 me. G1691 For G1063 ye have G2192 the poor G4434 with G3326 you G1438 always, G3842 and G2532 whensoever G3752 ye will G2309 ye may G1410 do G4160 them G846 good: G2095 but G1161 me G1691 ye have G2192 not G3756 always. G3842 She hath done G4160 what G3739 she G3778 G846 could: G2192 she is come aforehand G4301 to anoint G3462 my G3450 body G4983 to G1519 the burying. G1780 Verily G281 I say G3004 unto you, G5213 Wheresoever G3699 G302 this G5124 gospel G2098 shall be preached G2784 throughout G1519 the whole G3650 world, G2889 this also G2532 that G3739 she G3778 G846 hath done G4160 shall be spoken G2980 of for G1519 a memorial G3422 of her. G846 And G2532 Judas G2455 Iscariot, G2469 one G1520 of the twelve, G1427 went G565 unto G4314 the chief priests, G749 to G2443 betray G3860 him G846 unto them. G846 And G1161 when they heard G191 it, they were glad, G5463 and G2532 promised G1861 to give G1325 him G846 money. G694 And G2532 he sought G2212 how G4459 he might conveniently G2122 betray G3860 him. G846 And G2532 the first G4413 day G2250 of unleavened bread, G106 when G3753 they killed G2380 the passover, G3957 his G846 disciples G3101 said G3004 unto him, G846 Where G4226 wilt thou G2309 that we go G565 and prepare G2090 that G2443 thou mayest eat G5315 the passover? G3957 And G2532 he sendeth forth G649 two G1417 of his G846 disciples, G3101 and G2532 saith G3004 unto them, G846 Go ye G5217 into G1519 the city, G4172 and G2532 there shall meet G528 you G5213 a man G444 bearing G941 a pitcher G2765 of water: G5204 follow G190 him. G846 And G2532 wheresoever G3699 G1437 he shall go in, G1525 say ye G2036 to the goodman of the house, G3617 G3754 The Master G1320 saith, G3004 Where G4226 is G2076 the guestchamber, G2646 where G3699 I shall eat G5315 the passover G3957 with G3326 my G3450 disciples? G3101 And G2532 he G846 will shew G1166 you G5213 a large G3173 upper room G508 furnished G4766 and prepared: G2092 there G1563 make ready G2090 for us. G2254

Commentary on Leviticus 2 Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
CHAPTER 2
Le 2:1-16. The Meat Offerings.
1. when any will offer a meat offering—or gift—distinguishing a bloodless from a bloody sacrifice. The word "meat," however, is improper, as its meaning as now used is different from that attached at the date of our English translation. It was then applied not to "flesh," but "food," generally, and here it is applied to the flour of wheat. The meat offerings were intended as a thankful acknowledgment for the bounty of Providence; and hence, although meat offerings accompanied some of the appointed sacrifices, those here described being voluntary oblations, were offered alone.
pour oil upon it—Oil was used as butter is with us; symbolically it meant the influences of the Spirit, of which oil was the emblem, as incense was of prayer.
2. shall burn the memorial—rather, "for a memorial"; that is, a part of it.
3. the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons'—The circumstance of a portion of it being appropriated to the use of the priests distinguishes this from a burnt offering. They alone were to partake of it within the sacred precincts, as among "the most holy things."
4. if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven—generally a circular hole excavated in the floor, from one to five feet deep, the sides of which are covered with hardened plaster, on which cakes are baked of the form and thickness of pancakes. (See on Ge 18:6). The shape of Eastern ovens varies considerably according to the nomadic or settled habits of the people.
5. baken in a pan—a thin plate, generally of copper or iron, placed on a slow fire, similar to what the country people in Scotland called a "girdle" for baking oatmeal cakes.
6. part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon—Pouring oil on bread is a common practice among Eastern people, who are fond of broken bread dipped in oil, butter, and milk. Oil only was used in the meat offerings, and probably for a symbolic reason. It is evident that these meat offerings were previously prepared by the offerer, and when brought, the priest was to take it from his hands and burn a portion on the altar.
11. ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the Lord—Nothing sweet or sour was to be offered. In the warm climates of the East leavened bread soon spoils, and hence it was regarded as the emblem of hypocrisy or corruption. Some, however, think that the prohibition was that leaven and honey were used in the idolatrous rites of the heathen.
12. the oblation of the first-fruits—voluntary offerings made by individuals out of their increase, and leaven and honey might be used with these (Le 23:17; Nu 15:20). Though presented at the altar, they were not consumed, but assigned by God for the use of the priests.
13. every … meat offering shalt thou season with salt—The same reasons which led to the prohibition of leaven, recommended the use of salt—if the one soon putrefies, the other possesses a strongly preservative property, and hence it became an emblem of incorruption and purity, as well as of a perpetual covenant—a perfect reconciliation and lasting friendship. No injunction in the whole law was more sacredly observed than this application of salt; for besides other uses of it that will be noticed elsewhere, it had a typical meaning referred to by our Lord concerning the effect of the Gospel on those who embrace it (Mr 9:49, 50); as when plentifully applied it preserves meat from spoiling, so will the Gospel keep men from being corrupted by sin. And as salt was indispensable to render sacrifices acceptable to God, so the Gospel, brought home to the hearts of men by the Holy Ghost, is indispensably requisite to their offering up of themselves as living sacrifices [Brown].
14. a meat offering of thy first-fruits—From the mention of "green ears," this seems to have been a voluntary offering before the harvest—the ears being prepared in the favorite way of Eastern people, by parching them at the fire, and then beating them out for use. It was designed to be an early tribute of pious thankfulness for the earth's increase, and it was offered according to the usual directions.
