Offer leavened bread as a thank offering In the Hebrew context, the word "offer" (Hebrew: קָטַר, qatar) often refers to the act of burning incense or sacrifices on an altar. The inclusion of "leavened bread" is significant because leaven, or yeast, typically symbolizes sin or corruption in the Bible. However, in this context, it is used in a thank offering, which is a voluntary act of worship and gratitude to God. This juxtaposition highlights the Israelites' misunderstanding or disregard for the purity God desires in worship. Historically, thank offerings were part of the peace offerings, which were meant to express gratitude and fellowship with God. The use of leavened bread here may indicate a superficial or insincere worship practice, as the Israelites were more focused on ritual than true devotion. and loudly proclaim your freewill offerings For this is what you love to do O children of Israel declares the Lord GOD Parallel Commentaries ...
