This ritual is deeply rooted in ancient Near Eastern religious practices and is mentioned several times throughout the Scriptures. In the biblical narrative, libations are often associated with sacrifices and offerings, serving as a symbolic act of dedication and consecration to God.<br><br><b>Old Testament References</b><br><br>The practice of libations is first introduced in the Old Testament, where it is closely linked with the sacrificial system established by God for the Israelites. In <a href="/genesis/35-14.htm">Genesis 35:14</a>, Jacob sets up a pillar at the place where God had spoken to him and pours out a drink offering on it, along with oil, as an act of worship and remembrance: "Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God had spoken with him&#8212;a stone marker&#8212;and he poured out a drink offering on it and anointed it with oil."<br><br>The Mosaic Law further institutionalizes the use of libations in the religious life of Israel. In <a href="/exodus/29-40.htm">Exodus 29:40-41</a>, God commands the Israelites to accompany their daily burnt offerings with a drink offering: "With the first lamb, offer a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a quarter hin of oil from pressed olives, and a quarter hin of wine as a drink offering. Offer the second lamb at twilight with the same grain offering and drink offering as in the morning. It is a pleasing aroma, an offering made by fire to the LORD."<br><br>Libations are also mentioned in the context of the various feasts and festivals. In <a href="/bsb/numbers/28.htm">Numbers 28-29</a>, detailed instructions are given for the offerings to be made during these sacred times, including the specific quantities of wine to be poured out as drink offerings.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Significance</b><br><br>The pouring out of libations in the Old Testament carries rich symbolic meaning. It represents the offering of one's life and resources to God, acknowledging His sovereignty and provision. The act of pouring out wine, a valuable commodity, signifies the worshiper's willingness to give back to God from the blessings received.<br><br>Libations also serve as a reminder of the covenant relationship between God and His people. By including drink offerings in the sacrificial system, God emphasizes the importance of wholehearted devotion and the need for His people to live in obedience and gratitude.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>While the New Testament does not emphasize the ritual of libations as prominently as the Old Testament, the concept of being "poured out" is used metaphorically to describe the apostle Paul's ministry and life. In <a href="/philippians/2-17.htm">Philippians 2:17</a>, Paul writes, "But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you." Here, Paul likens his sacrificial service to a drink offering, highlighting his dedication to the work of the Gospel and his willingness to give his life for the sake of others.<br><br>Similarly, in <a href="/2_timothy/4-6.htm">2 Timothy 4:6</a>, Paul reflects on his impending martyrdom with the words, "For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand." This imagery underscores the totality of Paul's commitment to Christ and the Gospel, echoing the Old Testament practice of libations as an act of complete devotion.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The practice of libations in the Bible, while rooted in ancient ritual, carries profound theological significance. It serves as a powerful symbol of dedication, sacrifice, and covenantal relationship with God, themes that resonate throughout the biblical narrative and find their ultimate fulfillment in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ.<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/5262a.htm"><span class="l">5262a. nesek -- a drink offering</span></a><br><b>...</b> Word Origin from nasak Definition a drink offering NASB Word Usage drink (1), drink<br> offering (29), drink offerings (29), <b>libations</b> (1). 5262, 5262a. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/5262a.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 5k</font><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/peter/the_writings_of_peter_of_alexandria/canon_xiv_but_if_any.htm"><span class="l">But if any have Endured Much violence and the Strong Pressure of <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> Those who by the violence of the tyrant seemed to eat meat that had been offered<br> to idols, or to drink wine from the Greek <b>libations</b>,"for it happened <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../peter/the writings of peter of alexandria/canon xiv but if any.htm</font><p><a href="/library/unknown/the_decretals/ancient_syriac_documents_acts_of.htm"><span class="l">Acts of Sharbil, who was a Priest of Idols, and was Converted to <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> priesthood of Sharbil and Barsamya, [3152] Trajan C??sar commanded the governors<br> of the countries under his dominion that sacrifices and <b>libations</b> should be <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../unknown/the decretals/ancient syriac documents acts of.htm</font><p><a href="/library/sozomen/the_ecclesiastical_history_of_sozomenus/chapter_iv_what_constantine_the_great.htm"><span class="l">What Constantine the Great Effected About the Oak in Mamre; He <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> of Palestine in no measured terms, because they had neglected their duty, and had<br> permitted a holy place to be defiled by impure <b>libations</b> and sacrifices; and <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../chapter iv what constantine the great.htm</font><p><a href="/library/pamphilius/church_history/chapter_iii_in_the_course.htm"><span class="l">In the Course of the Second Year, the Persecution against us <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> were first issued to him, commanding by a general decree that all the people should<br> sacrifice at once in the different cities, and offer <b>libations</b> to the idols <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/...//christianbookshelf.org/pamphilius/church history/chapter iii in the course.htm</font><p><a href="/library/smith/jeremiah/4_and_after_xxx_xxxi.htm"><span class="l">And After.
