The use of oil in offerings signifies consecration and dedication to God. Frankincense, a costly and fragrant resin, represents prayer and worship, as seen in <a href="/psalms/141-2.htm">Psalm 141:2</a> and <a href="/revelation/8-3.htm">Revelation 8:3-4</a>. The combination of oil and frankincense in the grain offering highlights the importance of both the Spirit and prayer in worship. Frankincense was also one of the gifts brought to Jesus by the Magi (<a href="/matthew/2-11.htm">Matthew 2:11</a>), symbolizing His priestly role.<p><b>it is a grain offering.</b><br>The grain offering, or "minchah" in Hebrew, was a voluntary act of worship, expressing devotion and thanksgiving to God. Unlike animal sacrifices, grain offerings were bloodless, emphasizing the dedication of one's labor and sustenance to the Lord. This offering consisted of fine flour, oil, and frankincense, and was often accompanied by a drink offering. The grain offering foreshadows Christ as the Bread of Life (<a href="/john/6-35.htm">John 6:35</a>), who provides spiritual sustenance.
