Treasury of Scripture

The oblation before prescribed seems to have been a general acknowledgment from the people at large; but this was an oblation from every one that reaped a harvest; who was required, previously to tasting it himself, to offer a portion of dough as a heave-offering to the Lord. This is supposed to have been given to the priests in their several cities, and not carried to the tabernacle.

Joshua 5:11,12 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day...

Laws About Sacrifices

1And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you be come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you, 3And will make an offering by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet smell to the LORD, of the herd or of the flock: 4Then shall he that offers his offering to the LORD bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of oil. 5And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shall you prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb. 6Or for a ram, you shall prepare for a meat offering two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil. 7And for a drink offering you shall offer the third part of an hin of wine, for a sweet smell to the LORD. 8And when you prepare a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings to the LORD: 9Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil. 10And you shall bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet smell to the LORD. 11Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid. 12According to the number that you shall prepare, so shall you do to every one according to their number. 13All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet smell to the LORD. 14And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whoever be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet smell to the LORD; as you do, so he shall do. 15One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojournes with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as you are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD. 16One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojournes with you. 17And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 18Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you come into the land where I bring you, 19Then it shall be, that, when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up an heave offering to the LORD. 20You shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave offering: as you do the heave offering of the threshing floor, so shall you heave it. 21Of the first of your dough you shall give to the LORD an heave offering in your generations.
