An Offering from the Dough

Commentators explain that this offering was not from the finished, baked bread, but from the dough itself. Before the Israelites could eat, they were to set apart a portion for the Lord. This act of giving God the very first part of their sustenance from the Promised Land was a tangible expression of gratitude and dependence.
