John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And all the meat offering that is baked in the oven, etc.] Or “every meat offering” f169, whether dressed in one way or another, and which was done in one or other of these three ways, of which this was one, baked in an oven heated for that purpose: and all that is dressed in the frying pan; such as we call pancakes: and in the pan; which was different from the frying pan; it seems to be what was set upon an hearth made hot, and soon baked; (see Gill on “<030621>Leviticus 6:21”) of these three different ways of dressing the meat offering, (see <030204>Leviticus 2:4,5,7).”
