Context — The Peace Offering
12If he offers it in thanksgiving, then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving he shall offer unleavened cakes mixed with olive oil, unleavened wafers coated with oil, and well-kneaded cakes of fine flour mixed with oil.
13Along with his peace offering of thanksgiving he is to present an offering with cakes of leavened bread.
14From the cakes he must present one portion of each offering as a contribution to the LORD. It belongs to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offering.
15The meat of the sacrifice of his peace offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the day he offers it; none of it may be left until morning. 16If, however, the sacrifice he offers is a vow or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day he presents his sacrifice, but the remainder may be eaten on the next day.Cross References

Leviticus 7:14 Summary
This verse is talking about how the people of Israel were to give a portion of their offerings to God as a way of saying thank you for the blessings they had received. It's like when we give to God today, we're showing that we recognize everything we have comes from Him, as seen in James 1:17. The priest who helped with the offering was also given a part of it, to help him in his work of serving God and the people, similar to how we support our church leaders today. By giving to God, we're not just giving stuff, we're giving back to the One who gave us everything, and that's a principle that still applies today, as encouraged in 2 Corinthians 9:7.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of presenting a portion of the cakes as a contribution to the LORD?
The purpose is to acknowledge God's provision and to show gratitude for the peace offering, as seen in Leviticus 7:14, and this principle is also reflected in Deuteronomy 26:10 where the Israelites were to offer a tithe to the LORD.
Why does the portion of the cakes belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offering?
The priest's role in sprinkling the blood symbolizes his intermediary position between God and the people, and the portion of the cakes is a provision for the priest's service, as also seen in Numbers 18:8-10 where the priests were to receive a portion of the offerings.
Is this practice of presenting a portion of the cakes still relevant today?
While the specific practice may not be directly applicable today, the principle of acknowledging God's provision and showing gratitude remains, as encouraged in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 to give thanks in all circumstances.
How does this verse relate to the concept of giving to God?
This verse illustrates the idea that our giving to God is a response to His provision and blessings in our lives, a concept also found in Malachi 3:10 where the people are encouraged to bring their tithes to the storehouse.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I can acknowledge God's provision in my life, just like the Israelites did with their offerings?
- How can I show gratitude to God for the peace and forgiveness I have through Jesus Christ?
- In what ways can I support those who minister to me, just like the portion of the cakes was given to the priest?
- What are some things in my life that I can offer to God as a contribution, just like the cakes were offered in Leviticus 7:14?
Gill's Exposition on Leviticus 7:14
And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation [for] an heave offering unto the Lord,.... That is, one out of the unleavened cakes, and out of the unleavened wafers, and out of the cakes
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 7:14
And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall offer unto the LORD. This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Leviticus 7:14
Of it, i.e. either of the loaves of leavened bread mentioned , or of the offering, one of each part of the whole oblation, as it follows; it being most probable, and agreeable to the 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-offerings, see ,28.
Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 7:14
Leviticus 7:14 And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation [for] an heave offering unto the LORD, [and] it shall be the priest’ s that sprinkleth the blood of the peace offerings.Ver. 14. For a heave offering.] So called, because it was heaved and lifted up before the Lord, in token that they received all from him, and did acknowledge all to be due to him.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 7:14
(14) And of it he shall offer one out of the whole.—Better, and he shall offer of it one out of each. That is, the officiating priest waves one of each of the four kinds of cakes before the Lord as a heave offering (see Exodus 29:24; Exodus 29:28), and is to have these four loaves as his portion, while the rest or the remaining thirty-six cakes belonged to the owner of the sacrifice.
Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 7:14
14. one out of each oblation] According to the practice in the second temple, ten of each of the three kinds of unleavened cakes and ten leavened cakes were brought. The priest took one out of each ten, and the remainder belonged to the bringer of the sacrifice, to be eaten along with his share of the flesh of the Peace-Offering. These cakes were not treated as Meal-Offerings, for the priests claimed the whole of such offerings (Leviticus 2:3; Leviticus 2:10), but as an accompaniment of the Peace-Offering. Thus four of them were given as ‘Tĕ ?rûmah’ to the Lord for the priest that threw the blood against the altar (see note on Leviticus 1:5). ‘Tĕ ?rûmah,’ ‘heave-offering,’ does not, however, indicate throwing, as the English word suggests, but something lifted or ‘taken off from a larger mass, and so separated from it for sacred purposes,’ and hence dedicated to God through His ministers. Driver on Exodus 25:2, where see his full note. See also App. IV, Wave-Offering (end).
Barnes' Notes on Leviticus 7:14
Out of the whole oblation - Rather, out of each offering. That is, one loaf or cake out of each kind of meat-offering was to be a heave-offering Leviticus 7:32 for the officiating priest.
Whedon's Commentary on Leviticus 7:14
14. Heave offering — According to rabbinical tradition, the manner of heaving was to lay the oblation on the hands of the offerer, the priest putting his hands underneath and then moving them upwards and downwards.
