It was distinct from animal sacrifices and symbolized the dedication of one's labor and sustenance to God. This offering was typically made by individuals who sought to express gratitude or fulfill a vow. The grain offering was part of the broader sacrificial system established in the Mosaic Law, which provided a means for the Israelites to maintain a covenant relationship with God. The offering was brought to the LORD, emphasizing that it was an act of worship directed towards Yahweh, the covenant God of Israel.his offering must consist of fine flour Fine flour was a refined product, indicating that the offering was to be of the highest quality. This requirement underscored the principle that offerings to God should be the best one could provide, reflecting the worshiper's reverence and respect. Fine flour was a staple in the ancient Near Eastern diet, and its use in offerings symbolized the dedication of daily sustenance to God. The emphasis on quality parallels the requirement for unblemished animals in other sacrifices, highlighting the importance of purity and excellence in worship.He is to pour olive oil on it Olive oil was a valuable commodity in ancient Israel, used for cooking, lighting, and anointing. In the context of the grain offering, oil symbolized richness, blessing, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. The act of pouring oil on the flour could also represent the anointing and consecration of the offering, setting it apart for sacred use. Olive oil's significance in biblical symbolism is seen in its use in anointing kings and priests, pointing to the anointing of Jesus Christ as the Messiah, the Anointed One.put frankincense on it Frankincense was a costly and fragrant resin used in incense and offerings. Its inclusion in the grain offering added a pleasing aroma, symbolizing the acceptability of the offering to God. Frankincense was often associated with prayer and worship, as seen in its use in the incense burned in the Tabernacle and Temple. The use of frankincense in the grain offering can be seen as a type of Christ, who offered Himself as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God (<a href="/ephesians/5-2.htm">Ephesians 5:2</a>). The Magi's gift of frankincense to the infant Jesus (<a href="/matthew/2-11.htm">Matthew 2:11</a>) further connects this element to the life and ministry of Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD</a> The central figure to whom the offering is made, representing the covenant relationship between God and His people. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_offerer.htm">The Offerer</a> Any individual from the Israelite community who brings a grain offering, signifying devotion and gratitude. 3. <a href="/topical/g/grain_offering.htm">Grain Offering</a> A type of offering made to the LORD, consisting of fine flour, olive oil, and frankincense, symbolizing sustenance, anointing, and prayer. 4. <a href="/topical/f/fine_flour.htm">Fine Flour</a> Represents the best of the produce, indicating the offerer's willingness to give God the finest they have. 5. <a href="/topical/o/olive_oil_and_frankincense.htm">Olive Oil and Frankincense</a> Olive oil symbolizes the Holy Spirit and anointing, while frankincense represents prayer and worship.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_heart_of_worship.htm">The Heart of Worship</a> The grain offering teaches us that God desires our best, reflecting a heart of gratitude and devotion. <a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_ingredients.htm">Symbolism of Ingredients</a> Each component of the offering—fine flour, olive oil, and frankincense—carries deep spiritual significance, reminding us of purity, anointing, and prayer. <a href="/topical/h/holistic_offering.htm">Holistic Offering</a> Just as the grain offering was a holistic act of worship, our lives should be wholly dedicated to God, encompassing our resources, time, and talents. <a href="/topical/c/consistency_in_devotion.htm">Consistency in Devotion</a> Regular offerings were a part of Israelite worship, encouraging us to maintain consistent spiritual disciplines in our walk with God. <a href="/topical/c/community_and_worship.htm">Community and Worship</a> The communal aspect of offerings in the Old Testament reflects the importance of corporate worship and fellowship in the church today.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_leviticus_2.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Leviticus 2</a> <a href="/q/how_did_israelites_get_frankincense.htm">Leviticus 2:1–2: How could ancient Israelites realistically acquire frankincense in the wilderness if it primarily originated far to the south? </a> <a href="/q/what's_the_purpose_of_a_grain_offering.htm">What is the purpose of a grain offering?</a> <a href="/q/what_are_anointing_spices_used_for.htm">What are anointing spices used for?</a> <a href="/q/what_does_'breaking_of_bread'_mean.htm">What does "breaking of bread" mean?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/leviticus/2.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>II.(1) A meat offering.--Better, an oblation of a meat offering, as the same two words are rendered in <a href="/leviticus/2-4.htm" title="And if you bring an oblation of a meat offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.">Leviticus 2:4</a>; <a href="/leviticus/2-13.htm" title="And every oblation of your meat offering shall you season with salt; neither shall you suffer the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your meat offering: with all your offerings you shall offer salt.">Leviticus 2:13</a>.

The word used in the original for "meat offering" (minchah), means, like its Greek equivalent, δῶρον, a gift made by an inferior to a superior. Thus the sacrifices of Cain and Abel were their "minchah" to God (<a href="/genesis/4-3.htm">Genesis 4:3, 4</a>), the present sent to Esau by Jacob was his "minchah" (<a href="/genesis/32-13.htm">Genesis 32:13</a>), and the present to Joseph was his brethren's "minchah" (<a href="/genesis/43-11.htm">Genesis 43:11</a>). It is therefore equivalent to a gift of homage, which recognizes the superiority of him to whom it is offered, and ceremonially promises loyal obedience to him. Owing to its use in this passage, it came gradually to be confined in its signification to vegetable gifts, - unbloody sacrifices, as they are called sometimes, in contrast to animal sacrifices - while the word "corban" crone to be used in the wider acceptation which once belonged to "minchah." The conditions to be fulfilled by the Israelite who offered a meat offering were the following. 1. He must offer either (1) uncooked flour, with oil, salt, and frankincense, or (2) flour made into an unleavened cake (whether of the nature of biscuit or pancake), with oil, salt, and frankincense; or . . . <a href="/commentaries/leviticus/2-1.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>When כִּֽי־ (kî-) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> A relative conjunction anyone וְנֶ֗פֶשׁ (wə·ne·p̄eš) Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5315.htm">Strong's 5315: </a> A soul, living being, life, self, person, desire, passion, appetite, emotion brings תַקְרִ֞יב (ṯaq·rîḇ) Verb - Hifil - Imperfect - third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7126.htm">Strong's 7126: </a> To come near, approach a grain offering קָרְבַּ֤ן (qā·rə·ban) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7133.htm">Strong's 7133: </a> Something brought near the altar, a sacrificial present to the LORD, לַֽיהוָ֔ה (Yah·weh) Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel his offering קָרְבָּנ֑וֹ (qā·rə·bā·nōw) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7133.htm">Strong's 7133: </a> Something brought near the altar, a sacrificial present must consist of fine flour. סֹ֖לֶת (sō·leṯ) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5560.htm">Strong's 5560: </a> Fine flour He is to pour וְיָצַ֤ק (wə·yā·ṣaq) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3332.htm">Strong's 3332: </a> To pour out, to melt, cast as metal, to place firmly, to stiffen, grow hard olive oil שֶׁ֔מֶן (še·men) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8081.htm">Strong's 8081: </a> Grease, liquid, richness on it, עָלֶ֙יהָ֙ (‘ā·le·hā) Preposition | third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against put וְנָתַ֥ן (wə·nā·ṯan) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5414.htm">Strong's 5414: </a> To give, put, set frankincense לְבֹנָֽה׃ (lə·ḇō·nāh) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3828.htm">Strong's 3828: </a> Frankincense on it, עָלֶ֖יהָ (‘ā·le·hā) Preposition | third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/leviticus/2-1.htm">Leviticus 2:1 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/leviticus/2-1.htm">Leviticus 2:1 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/leviticus/2-1.htm">Leviticus 2:1 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/leviticus/2-1.htm">Leviticus 2:1 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/leviticus/2-1.htm">Leviticus 2:1 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/leviticus/2-1.htm">Leviticus 2:1 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/leviticus/2-1.htm">Leviticus 2:1 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/leviticus/2-1.htm">Leviticus 2:1 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/leviticus/2-1.htm">Leviticus 2:1 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/leviticus/2-1.htm">Leviticus 2:1 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/leviticus/2-1.htm">OT Law: Leviticus 2:1 When anyone offers an offering (Le Lv Lev.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/leviticus/1-17.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Leviticus 1:17"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Leviticus 1:17" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/leviticus/2-2.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Leviticus 2:2"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Leviticus 2:2" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
