It symbolized the dedication of one's labor and sustenance to God. Fine flour, a product of human effort, represents the best of what people can offer. The mixing with oil signifies the presence and work of the Holy Spirit, as oil often symbolizes the Spirit in Scripture (e.g., <a href="/1_samuel/16-13.htm">1 Samuel 16:13</a>). This offering was a reminder of God's provision and the need for spiritual anointing in daily life.<p><b>three-tenths of an ephah with the bull,</b><br>An ephah is a unit of dry measure used in ancient Israel, roughly equivalent to 22 liters or about 5.8 gallons. The specific measurement of three-tenths of an ephah for the bull indicates the substantial nature of the offering, reflecting the importance and value of the sacrifice. Bulls were considered valuable animals, often used in significant sacrifices, symbolizing strength and leadership. This offering points to the need for a costly and complete dedication to God, foreshadowing the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, who gave Himself fully for humanity.<p><b>two-tenths of an ephah with the ram,</b><br>The ram, another important sacrificial animal, required a slightly smaller grain offering than the bull, indicating a hierarchy in the sacrificial system. Rams were often used in covenantal contexts, such as the ram caught in the thicket in <a href="/genesis/22-13.htm">Genesis 22:13</a>, which God provided as a substitute for Isaac. This substitutionary aspect prefigures Christ's atoning work, where He becomes the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (<a href="/john/1-29.htm">John 1:29</a>). The two-tenths of an ephah signifies a significant, yet lesser, offering compared to the bull, emphasizing the varied levels of sacrifice and dedication required in worship.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites who received the laws and instructions from God, including the sacrificial system outlined in Numbers.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who were given specific instructions on how to worship and offer sacrifices.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/tabernacle.htm">Tabernacle</a></b><br>The portable dwelling place for the divine presence, where sacrifices and offerings were made.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/s/sacrificial_system.htm">Sacrificial System</a></b><br>The set of offerings and sacrifices commanded by God, which included burnt offerings, grain offerings, and others.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/f/feast_of_trumpets.htm">Feast of Trumpets</a></b><br>The context of <a href="/bsb/numbers/29.htm">Numbers 29</a>, where specific offerings were to be made as part of this holy convocation.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_obedience.htm">The Importance of Obedience</a></b><br>The Israelites were required to follow God's instructions precisely, demonstrating their obedience and reverence for Him.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_the_grain_offering.htm">Symbolism of the Grain Offering</a></b><br>The grain offering, made of fine flour and oil, symbolizes dedication and thanksgiving to God, representing the fruits of human labor offered back to the Creator.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_provision_and_holiness.htm">God's Provision and Holiness</a></b><br>The specific measurements and ingredients highlight God's provision and the holiness required in approaching Him.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/christ_as_the_fulfillment.htm">Christ as the Fulfillment</a></b><br>The sacrificial system points to Jesus Christ, who fulfills the law and offers Himself as the perfect sacrifice, inviting believers to live lives of spiritual sacrifice.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/w/worship_in_spirit_and_truth.htm">Worship in Spirit and Truth</a></b><br>While the physical offerings are no longer required, believers are called to worship God in spirit and truth, offering their lives as living sacrifices.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_numbers_29.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Numbers 29</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_archaeology_support_numbers_29.htm">Is there any archaeological record corroborating the elaborate sacrificial system described in Numbers 29?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/were_numbers_29_rituals_historically_feasible.htm">What evidence exists that these extensive rituals, detailed in Numbers 29, were historically observed or feasible at that scale?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/are_numbers_15_1-12_sacrifices_verified.htm">Numbers 15:1-12: Are there any historical or archaeological findings that support these specific sacrifices, or do they appear unique and unverified?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_do_num_6_13-20_sacrifices_compare.htm">Numbers 6:13-20 -- How do these detailed, specific sacrifice requirements align with or differ from other sacrificial regulations found elsewhere in the Torah?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/numbers/29-3.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">along with their grain offering</span><br /><span class="heb">וּמִנְחָתָ֔ם</span> <span class="translit">(ū·min·ḥā·ṯām)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun -
