one out of each oblation According to the practice in the second temple, ten of each of the three kinds of unleavened cakes and ten leavened cakes were brought. The priest took one out of each ten, and the remainder belonged to the bringer of the sacrifice, to be eaten along with his share of the flesh of the Peace-Offering. These cakes were not treated as Meal-Offerings, for the priests claimed the whole of such offerings (Leviticus 2:3; Leviticus 2:10), but as an accompaniment of the Peace-Offering. Thus four of them were given as - Tĕrûmah" to the Lord for the priest that threw the blood against the altar (see note on Leviticus 1:5). - Tĕrûmah," -heave-offering," does not, however, indicate throwing, as the English word suggests, but something liftedor -taken off from a larger mass, and so separated from it for sacred purposes," and hence dedicated to God through His ministers. Driver on Exodus 25:2, where see his full note. See also App. IV, Wave-Offering (end).
