But then there was no reaſon to make ſo great an alteration of the phraſe, no: to make any diſtin&ion of the differing kinds of Meat offerings, if in both they were to be the Prieſts that offered them, as 15 expreſic werſe 9. and here, as they ſay, intended. Or rather 2. That theſe were to be equally divided among all the Prieſts. And there was manifeſt reaſon for this difference, becauſe theſe were 1n greater quanti'y than the former ; and being raw, might more ealily and commodiouſly be divided and reſerved for the ſeveral Prieſts to dreſs it in that way which cach of tiem beſt liked.
1: And * this is the law of the ſacrifice of peace- of- ferings which he (ball offer unto the LORD.
12 If he offer it for a thankſgiving i, then he ſball offer with the ſacrifice of thankſgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour fryed.
; For mercies received. See Lewit: 22. 29, 2 Chron. 29. 31.and
33. 16. R : 13 Beſides the cakes, he ſhall offer for his offering leavened bread &, with the ſacrifice of thankigiving ot his peace offering 7. : | & Partly becauſe this was a Sacrifice of another kind thin thoſe in which Jeaven was forbidden, this being a Sacrifice of Thankſgt-
ving for God's bleſſings, among which leavened bread was one ;
partly to ſhew that leaven was not ſo ſtrifly forbidden in other Sa- crifices, as if it were evil in it ſeIf,bur to teach us wholly to reſt in the will of God in all his appointments, without too ſcrupulous an enquiry into the particular reaſons of them. Obj. Leaven was un1- verſally forbidden, Lev: 2: 11. 4». 1. That prohibition concerned only things offered and burnt upon the Altar, which this Bread was not, but it was offered only towa:ds the Prieſt's food. 2. That was an-ther kind of Sacrifice, and therefore it is no wonder if 1t had
_ Other Rites. 3. That Leaven was not univerſally forbidden, appears
from Lovit: 23. 17. 1 Or, With the ſacrifice of thankſgiving for his peace or proſperity.
14 And of it »: he shall offer one cut of the whole
_ oblation for an heave offering » unto the LORD, an«
;t shal be the prieſts that ſprinkleth the blood of the
peace- offerings.
m Of it, (5. e.) Fither of the Loaves of leavened bread men- tioned werſe 13. or of the Offering, one of each part of the whole oblation, as it follows ; it being moſt probable and agreeable to rhe Rules and Laws laid down before and afterward, that the Prieſt ſhould have a ſhare in the unleavened Cakes and Wafers, as well as in the leavened Bread. # Concerning the Heave-ofterings, ſec Exod: 29: 24, 28. A ;
15 And the flesh of, the ſacrifice of his peace offer- ings for thankſgiving shal be eaten » the ſame day that
it is offered : he shall not leave any of ir until the mor- ning.
n By the Prieſts and Offerers, Levit: 22: 30.
16 But* if the ſacrifice of his peace-offering be a vow 0,0r a voluntary offering p, it shal be eaten the ſame day that he offereth his ſacrifice ; and on the morrow alſo
the remainder of it shal be eaten 9.
o Offered in performance of a Vow,the man having deſired ſome ſpecial favour from God, and vowed the Sacrifice to God if he would grant it. p Which a man freely offered to God, in teſti- mony of his faith and love to God, without any particular injun&i- on from God, or deſign of his own ſpecial advantage thereby. Sce Levit: 22. 23. Execk: 46: 12. q Which was not allowed for the Thank-offering. The reaſon of which difference is to be fetched only from God's _” | - and will, to which he expe&s our obedience, though we diſcern not the reaſon of his appointments.
17 But the remainder of the flesh of the fſacritice on
the third day, $hal be burnt with fire r.
+ That it might neither putrefy, and thereby be expoſed to con- tempt ; nor yet be reſerved either for ſuperſtitious abuſe, or for the prieſt's domeſtick uſe, which would favour of coyetouſneſs, and of diſtruſt of God's care for their future proviſions.
18 * And if axy of the flesh of the ſacrifice of his
peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shal
not be accepted, neither $shall it be imputed unto him s that offereth it : it shall be an abomination, and the ſoul that caterh of it shal bear his iniquitys
