The Hebrew word for "eat" (&#1488;&#1464;&#1499;&#1463;&#1500;, 'akal) implies not just the act of consuming but also enjoying and partaking in the blessings provided by God. This is a reminder of God's provision and faithfulness. The "food of the land" refers to the produce of Canaan, a land described as flowing with milk and honey. Historically, this signifies a shift from reliance on manna to the fruits of their labor in a fertile land, symbolizing God's promise being fulfilled.<p><b>you are to offer up an offering to the LORD</b><br />The phrase "offer up an offering" (&#1514;&#1468;&#1464;&#1512;&#1460;&#1497;&#1502;&#1493;&#1468; &#1514;&#1468;&#1456;&#1512;&#1493;&#1468;&#1502;&#1464;&#1492;, tarimu terumah) involves the act of lifting or elevating something to God, signifying dedication and consecration. This offering is a tangible expression of gratitude and acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and provision. The Israelites are reminded that their blessings are not solely for personal enjoyment but are to be shared with God as an act of worship. The historical context here is crucial, as offerings were central to Israelite worship, serving as a means to maintain a covenant relationship with God. This act of offering underscores the principle of giving back to God from the firstfruits of what He has provided, a practice that reinforces dependence on and trust in God's continued provision.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/numbers/15.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 19.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">When ye eat of the bread of the land.</span> A thing which the younger Israelites, few of whom had ever tasted bread, must have eagerly looked forward to (see on Joshua 5:11, 12).
