Commentary on 2 Kings 4:422 voices
Bread of the first-fruits - This was an offering to the prophet, as the first-fruits themselves were an offering to God. Corn in the husk - Probably parched corn or corn to be parched, a very frequent food in the East; full ears, before they are ripe, parched on the fire.

See Bochart, Hieroz. lib. ii. cap. lvi. col. 707-10.
