This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Out of your habitations, i.e. out of the corn of your own land, for which and for the fruits of it you are now to offer praises unto God. And this also, as well as the former sacrifice, was brought out of the common charge, and in the name of the whole nation, whence it is said to be brought out of their habitations in the plural number. Some conceive two several loaves were brought from every family, or, as others, from every city or town. But this is easily confuted from Lev_23:18, where we read that with the bread, to wit, the two loaves, were to be offered seven lambs, one bullock, &c., which doubtless was a common oblation, and in the name of all.
Two wave loaves; in double proportion, as before, Lev_23:13.
Baken with leaven; because these were not offered to God, but wholly given to the priest for food. See on Lev_2:11 7:13.
