Leviticus 7:13

7:13 He must present this grain offering ¹  in addition to ring-shaped loaves of leavened bread which regularly accompany ²  the sacrifice of his thanksgiving peace offering.

Matthew 13:33

The Parable of the Yeast

13:33 He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with ³  three measures ⁴  of flour until all the dough had risen.” ⁵ 

[7:13]  ¹ tn The rendering “this [grain] offering” is more literally “his offering,” but it refers to the series of grain offerings listed just previously in v. 12.

[7:13]  ² tn The words “which regularly accompany” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied for clarity.

[13:33]  ³ tn Grk “hid in.”

[13:33]  ⁴ sn This measure was a saton, the Greek name for the Hebrew term “seah.” Three of these was a very large quantity of flour, since a saton is a little over 16 pounds (7 kg) of dry measure (or 13.13 liters). So this was over 47 lbs (21 kg) of flour total, enough to feed over a hundred people.

[13:33]  ⁵ tn Grk “it was all leavened.”
