Notes on the Whole Bible
Albert Barnes (1798–1870) · 19th-century historical commentary
Source: BibleWord.ai's local reference edition of this named work.
A bullock ... two rams ... a basket - compare Exodus 29:1-3. This shows the coherence of this part of Leviticus with the latter part of Exodus. The basket of unleavened bread used on this occasion appears to have contained: (1) cakes or loaves of the ordinary unleavened bread; (2) cakes of oiled bread, rather, oil bread (see Leviticus 2:1, Leviticus 2:4); and (3) oiled wafers (see Leviticus 2:4, Leviticus 2:6). Rabbinical tradition says that there were six cakes of each sort. return to 'Top of Page'
