Processed Grain Offerings

2:4 “‘When you present an offering of grain baked in an oven, it must be made of ¹  choice wheat flour baked into unleavened loaves ²  mixed with olive oil or ³  unleavened wafers smeared ⁴  with olive oil.

Leviticus 11:35

11:35 Anything their carcass may fall on will become unclean. An oven or small stove must be smashed to pieces; they are unclean, and they will stay unclean ⁵  to you.

Leviticus 26:26

26:26 When I break off your supply of bread, ⁶  ten women will bake your bread in one oven; they will ration your bread by weight, ⁷  and you will eat and not be satisfied.

¹ tn The insertion of the words “it must be made of” is justified by the context and the expressed words “it shall be made of” in vv. 7 and 8 below.

² sn These “loaves” were either “ring-shaped” (HALOT 317 s.v. חַלָּה) or “perforated” (BDB 319 s.v. חַלָּה; cf. J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:184).

³ tn Heb “and.” Here the conjunction vav (ו) has an alternative sense (“or”).

⁴ tn The Hebrew word מְשֻׁחִים (mÿshukhim) translated here as “smeared” is often translated “anointed” in other contexts. Cf. TEV “brushed with olive oil” (CEV similar).

⁵ tn Heb “be unclean.”

⁶ tn Heb “When I break to you staff of bread” (KJV, ASV, and NASB all similar).

⁷ tn Heb “they will return your bread in weight.”
