John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 8. And thou shalt bring the meat offering, that is made of these things, unto the Lord , etc.] Either to the tabernacle, the house of the Lord, or to the Lord’s priest, as it follows: and when it is presented to the priest ; by the owner of it: he shall bring it unto the altar ; to the south west horn of the altar f61 .
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-11 - Meat-offerings may typify Christ, as presented to God for us, and a being the Bread of life to our souls; but they rather seem to denot our obligation to God for the blessings of providence, and those goo works which are acceptable to God. The term "meat" was, and still is properly given to any kind of provision, and the greater part of thi offering was to be eaten for food, not burned. These meat-offerings ar mentioned after the burnt-offerings: without an interest in the sacrifice of Christ, and devotedness of heart to God, such service cannot be accepted. Leaven is the emblem of pride, malice, an hypocrisy, and honey of sensual pleasure. The former are directl opposed to the graces of humility, love, and sincerity, which God approves; the latter takes men from the exercises of devotion, and the practice of good works. Christ, in his character and sacrifice, wa wholly free from the things denoted by leaven; and his suffering lif and agonizing death were the very opposites to worldly pleasure. Hi people are called to follow, and to be like him.
