11No grain offering that you present to the LORD may be made with leaven, for you are not to burn any leaven or honey as an offering made by fire to the LORD. 12You may bring them to the LORD as an offering of firstfruits, but they are not to be offered on the altar as a pleasing aroma. 13And you shall season each of your grain offerings with salt; you must not leave the salt of the covenant of your God out of your grain offering—you are to add salt to each of your offerings.
“As the burnt offering was to be ‘without blemish’ so the meal offering was to be without leaven.” (Morgan)
“My brethren, nothing in the service of God is trifling. A pinch of salt may seem to us exceedingly unimportant, but before the Lord it may not be so.” (Spurgeon)
“No leaven – the symbol of the rising pride and self.”
“No honey – that which is merely attractive and sensuous.” (F.B. Meyer)
Leaven in the Bible is synonymous with sin.
A pinch of salt?
I have to control my salt intake by not ingesting salty foods. You don’t realize how much salt flavors food until you refrain from using it.
My wife has to use salt daily!
We are opposites when it comes to salt!
Honey was a favorite in sacrifices to pagan deities.
Why is it that we try to fix life’s obstacles without God and we question why God wants His order in offerings?
What would our world be like today if Adam and Eve questioned the serpent’s intentions?
Blessings, David
