Leviticus 6:21

a baking pan See note on Leviticus 2:5.

when it is soaked bakenA.V. The Heb. word occurs only here and in Leviticus 7:12 (where see note), 1 Chronicles 23:29 (friedA.V.), and means something mixed.

in baken pieces shalt thou offer the meal offering lit. a meal offering in pieces (cp. Leviticus 2:6 -Thou shalt part it in pieces") shalt thou offer. The first word is uncertain, and is left blank. The Oxf. Lex. suggests, with a slight change of letters and vocalisation, to render - thou shalt break" (it into a Meal-Offering of pieces and offer etc.), thus making the word a verb, and the root from which the following substantive -pieces" is formed. If the description of Josephus and the Mishna (see additional note) be accepted as determining the meaning, then the word (? slightly amended) might be translated -baken pieces." The word is in appearance similar to that immediately preceding; perhaps it should be omitted as due to a scribal error. That the offering is baked is already indicated in the first part of the verse.
