two wave loaves] At the feast of Pentecost every family (as some conceive) was to bring two leavened loaves, as the first-fruits of their increase to the Priests, because it is said, they should bring them out of their habitations; but that notwithstanding others take it that it would be too great a proportion of bread for them, and that so many could not be waved by the Priest with the peace-offering, as is appointed, 5: 20. therefore it is more probable that they were a common oblation, made at the publique charge, and offered also in the name of all the people in covenant with God. Against this is objected, that they were to bring it out of their habitations, which imports a pluralitie; for two loaves were too few to come out of many habitations: to which it is answered, that it must be of the wheat of the land of Canaan, not of a foraine Countrey where they had no habitations; and yet it might be that this common charge might by course be so distributed among the people, that it might be rather accounted a common or generall thing, then of particular cost or concernment of particular persons. with leaven] Because the Priest should eate them, as Chap. 7. 13. and they should not be offered to the Lord upon the Altar; for no leaven was there presented. See Annot. on Chap. 2. vers. 11.
