Summarized Bible Commentary

Leviticus 2:1-16

Contents: Meat offering and first-fruits laws.

Characters: God, Moses, Aaron's sons.

Conclusion: Leaven, typifying malice, wickedness and human pride is not accepted in spiritual sacrifices. Take heed of those sins which will certainly spoil the acceptableness of worship.

Key Word: Fine flour offering, Leviticus 2:1. First-fruits, Leviticus 2:12.

Strong Verses: Leviticus 2:11.

Striking Facts: Fine flour speaks of the balance of the character of Christ; fire of His testing by suffering; frankincense of the fragrance of His life to God; absence of leaven, His character as «The Truth;» absence of honey His life was not mere natural sweetness which may exist apart from God; oil mingled, Christ as born of the Spirit; oil upon, Christ baptized with the Spirit.
