Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 44:30

30 And the first of all the first fruits of all things, and every oblation of all of every sort x of your oblations shall be the priests: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough , that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.

So soon as the first fruits are ripe in the field, your Vineyards and olive yards, &c. Nay Redemption money for the first-born of man was theirs.

Whether Free-will offering, or prescribed. Of what sort soever, whether of flock, or herd, &c.

'Tis conceiv'd, this was of every Mass of dough they made, and of the first of the dough, which every year they first made of the new Corn, as by the custom of the Iewes at this day, appears; who since they cannot give to the Priest, will burn a little cake of every bach in the Oven.

The Priest may bless and pray for thee.
