Leviticus 2:2

Was not this bringing of the offering to Aaron, typical of believers bringing all their offerings to JESUS for acceptance? John 14:6.... [ Continue Reading ]

Leviticus 2:3

The presentation to the priest no doubt meant to imply, that all is the LORD'S. So in the gospel, the same is read to us in every ordinance; CHRIST is all, and in all. Of thine own LORD do we give thee. 1 Corinthians 9:13; Numbers 18:12.... [ Continue Reading ]

Leviticus 2:4-10
