The offering of first fruits No grain offering that you present to the LORD may be made with leaven Leaven, or yeast, is often symbolic of sin and corruption in the Bible. In the context of the grain offering, which was a voluntary act of worship and dedication to God, the absence of leaven signifies purity and holiness. This requirement underscores the need for offerings to be free from corruption, reflecting the holiness of God. The prohibition of leaven in offerings is also seen in the Passover (Exodus 12:15), where unleavened bread symbolizes the haste of the Israelites' departure from Egypt and the purity required in their relationship with God. for you are not to burn any leaven or honey as a food offering to the LORD Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points Symbolism of Leaven and HoneyLeaven often symbolizes sin and corruption in the Bible. Its exclusion from offerings signifies the need for purity and holiness in our worship and lives. Honey, while sweet, can ferment and spoil, representing the potential for good things to become corrupt if not kept in check. Holiness in Worship God requires that our offerings and acts of worship be pure and sincere. This calls us to examine our hearts and motives when we come before Him. Separation from Sin Just as leaven is removed from grain offerings, believers are called to separate themselves from sin and live lives that reflect God's holiness. Consistency in Faith The prohibition of leaven in offerings reminds us to be consistent in our faith, avoiding hypocrisy and living authentically before God and others.(11) No meat offering.--Leviticus 2:11-13 add some general rules respecting meat offerings. As honey was used in olden times to produce fermentation, it is excluded, like fermented dough, from these offerings. (See Leviticus 11:20.)Verses 11, 12. - Ye shall burn no leaven nor any honey, in any offering of the Lord made by fire. Leaven and honey are not forbidden to be offered to the Lord; on the contrary, in the next verse they are commanded to be offered. The prohibition only extends to their being burnt on the altar, owing, no doubt, to the effect of fire upon them in making them swell and froth, thus creating a repulsive appearance which, as we shall see, throughout the Mosaic legislation, represents moral evil. The firstfruits of honey are to be offered (cf. Exodus 22:29), and leaven is to be used in the two wave loaves offered at the Feast of Pentecost as firstfruits (Leviticus 23:17). the words translated, As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto the Lord, should be rendered, As an oblation of firstfruits ye shall offer them (that is, leaven and honey), but they shall not be burnt on the altar. The mark in A.V. denoting a new paragraph at the beginning of verse 12, should be removed. Parallel Commentaries ...
