Verse 4. Baken in the oven] rwnt tannur, from rn nar, to split, divide, says Mr. Parkhurst; and hence the oven, because of its burning, dissolving, and melting heat.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 4. And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in an oven , etc.] This is another kind of meat offering, or in another form; the former was only fine flour and oil mixed together, and frankincense put on it, but this was made up into cakes, and baked in an oven, and not in anything else, according to the Jewish tradition f56 ; he that says, lo, upon me be a meat offering baked in an oven, he may not bring that baked otherwise; and this meat offering was made into cakes and wafers, and then baked, as follows: and [it shall be] unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil ; which according to the Jews were made after this manner f57 ; the priest put the oil into a vessel before the making of it, then put the fine flour to it, and put oil upon it, and mixed it, and kneaded it, and baked it, and cut it in pieces, and put oil upon it, and mixed it, and again put oil upon it, and took the handful, and it was the fourth part of an hin of oil that was divided into the several cakes; the cakes, they say, were obliged to be mixed, and the wafers to be anointed; the cakes were mixed, but not the wafers the wafers were anointed, and not the cakes. The oil denoted the grace of the Spirit of God in Christ, and in his people; and being unleavened, the sincerity and truth with which the meat offering, Christ, is to be upon.

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.
