on Numbers 15:17-21

The first of the dough is claimed as a heave offering, so the demand moves from the threshingfloor to the household oven. Barnes traces the principle to Exodus 22:29 and 23:19, where the firstfruits of the field were already the Lord's, and this adds the loaf made out of them. Henry and others set Romans 11:16 beside the verse, where Paul argues that if the firstfruit be holy the lump is also holy, using the word for a lump of dough.
