SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:12
En la ofrenda de las primicias las ofreceréis al SEÑOR; mas no subirán sobre el altar por olor aceptable.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto the Lord , etc.] Or “in” or “with the oblation”, as some render it; that is, along with the oblation of the firstfruits leaven and honey might be offered: the Arabic version is very express, “but for a sacrifice of firstfruits ye” shall offer both to God; as they might be, as before observed; so the Targum of Jonathan, “for the leavened bread of the firstfruits shall be offered, and dates in the time of the firstfruits; the fruits with their honey shall be offered, and the priest shall eat them:” but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour ; which they could not make, and besides were to be the portion of the priests.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-16 - Salt is required in all the offerings. God hereby intimates to the that their sacrifices, in themselves, were unsavoury. All religiou services must be seasoned with grace. Christianity is the salt of the earth. Directions are given about offering their first-fruits a harvest. If a man, with a thankful sense of God's goodness in giving him a plentiful crop, was disposed to present an offering to God, le him bring the first ripe and full ears. Whatever was brought to God must be the best in its kind, though it were but green ears of corn Oil and frankincense must be put upon it. Wisdom and humility softe and sweeten the spirits and services of young people, and their gree ears of corn shall be acceptable. God takes delight in the first rip fruits of the Spirit, and the expressions of early piety and devotion Holy love to God is the fire by which all our offerings must be made The frankincense denotes the mediation and intercession of Christ, by which our services are accepted. Blessed be God that we have the substance, of which these observances were but shadows. There is tha excellency in Christ, and in his work as Mediator, which no types an shadows can fully represent. And our dependence thereon must be s entire, that we must never lose sight of it in any thing we do, if we would be accepted of God __________________________________________________________________
