Clarke's Leviticus 23:14 Bible Commentary

Ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears - It is right that God, the dispenser of every blessing, should be acknowledged as such, and the first-fruits of the field, etc., dedicated to him. Concerning the dedication of the first-fruits, see the note on Exodus 22:29. Parched ears of corn and green ears, fried, still constitute a part, and not a disagreeable one, of the food of the Arabs now resident in the Holy Land. See Hasselquist.

Barnes's Leviticus 23:14 Bible Commentary

Bread ... parched corn ... green ears - These are the three forms in which grain was commonly eaten. The old name, Abib, signified "the month of green ears." See Joshua 5:11.

Wesley's Leviticus 23:14 Bible Commentary

23:14 Bread — Made of new wheat.

Nor green ears — Which were usual, not only for offerings to God, but also for man's food.
