SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:20
De lo primero que amasareis, ofreceréis una torta en ofrenda; como la ofrenda de la era, así la ofreceréis.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Numbers 15:20
Verse 20. Ye shall offer-the first of your dough] Concerning the offerings of first-fruits, see the notes on "Exodus xxii. 29".
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20. Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough [for] an heave offering , etc.] Of the first dough made of the first corn that was threshed, winnowed and ground, they were to make a cake, and offer it an heave offering unto the Lord; the quantity of it is not expressed, but was left to the people’s generosity; no stinted measure was fixed by the law; but according to the Scribes, or the traditions of the elders, the quantity of the cake was the twenty fourth part of the first dough that was kneaded; not the forty fourth, as Buxtorf through mistake says; so the Targum of Jonathan, “of the first of your dough, one out of twenty four (i.e. the twenty fourth part of it), ye shall separate a separation for the priests,” with which agrees the Misnah f203 , though according to that, if made to sell publicly it was the forty eighth part of it. Some, because ( Numbers 15:21) begins and ends with m , “mem”, which numerically signifies “forty”, think this is an instruction to a bountiful person to give the fortieth part f204 : as [ye do] the heave offering of the threshing floor, so shall ye heave it ; as the two wave loaves and firstfruits of their harvest, ( Leviticus 23:16,17).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-21 - Full instructions are given about the meat-offerings an drink-offerings. The beginning of this law is very encouraging, When y come into the land of your habitation which I give unto you. This was plain intimation that God would secure the promised land to their seed It was requisite, since the sacrifices of acknowledgment were intende as the food of God's table, that there should be a constant supply of bread, oil, and wine, whatever the flesh-meat was. And the intent of this law is to direct the proportions of the meat-offering an drink-offering. Natives and strangers are placed on a level in this a in other like matters. It was a happy forewarning of the calling of the Gentiles, and of their admission into the church. If the law made s little difference between Jew and Gentile, much less would the gospel which broke down the partition-wall, and reconciled both to God.
