The act of presenting an offering signifies a direct relationship between the individual and God, emphasizing personal devotion and accountability. In the broader context of the Old Testament, offerings were a means of atonement and worship, reflecting the covenant relationship between God and Israel. This personal act foreshadows the New Testament teaching of believers presenting themselves as living sacrifices (<a href="/romans/12.htm">Romans 12:1</a>).<p><b>shall also present a grain offering</b><br>The grain offering, or "minchah," was a common type of offering in ancient Israel, symbolizing the dedication of one's labor and sustenance to God. It was a non-blood offering, often accompanying burnt offerings, and represented thanksgiving and devotion. This offering highlights the importance of acknowledging God's provision and sovereignty over all aspects of life, including daily sustenance.<p><b>of a tenth of an ephah of fine flour</b><br>An ephah was a unit of dry measure used in ancient Israel, roughly equivalent to 22 liters or about 5.8 gallons. A tenth of an ephah would be a significant but manageable portion, indicating a meaningful yet accessible offering. Fine flour was a refined product, symbolizing purity and the best of one's resources. This requirement underscores the principle of giving God the best, a theme echoed in the call for believers to offer their best in service and worship.<p><b>mixed with a quarter hin of olive oil</b><br>A hin was a unit of liquid measure, approximately 3.7 liters or about 1 gallon. A quarter hin of olive oil would be about 0.9 liters or roughly 1 quart. Olive oil was a valuable commodity in ancient Israel, used for cooking, anointing, and lighting lamps. Mixing oil with flour in the grain offering signifies the blending of human effort (flour) with divine blessing and presence (oil). Olive oil is often associated with the Holy Spirit in Scripture, symbolizing anointing and consecration, pointing to the work of the Spirit in the life of believers.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The primary audience of the book of Numbers, receiving instructions on how to live and worship as God's chosen people.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, through whom God communicated His laws and instructions.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tabernacle.htm">The Tabernacle</a></b><br>The central place of worship for the Israelites, where offerings and sacrifices were made.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/o/offerings.htm">Offerings</a></b><br>Specific sacrifices commanded by God, including burnt offerings and grain offerings, as acts of worship and atonement.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant God of Israel, who established the laws and rituals for His people to follow.<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 called to follow God's specific instructions for offerings, demonstrating their obedience and reverence.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_the_grain_offering.htm">Symbolism of the Grain Offering</a></b><br>The grain offering symbolizes dedication and thanksgiving to God, acknowledging His provision and sustenance.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/h/holiness_in_worship.htm">Holiness in Worship</a></b><br>The detailed requirements for offerings remind us of the holiness required in worship and the need for purity in approaching God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/christ_as_the_fulfillment.htm">Christ as the Fulfillment</a></b><br>The sacrificial system points to Christ, who fulfills the law and offers Himself as the perfect sacrifice for our sins.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/generosity_and_sacrifice.htm">Generosity and Sacrifice</a></b><br>The offering of fine flour and oil reflects the call to give our best to God, encouraging us to live lives of generosity and sacrifice.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_numbers_15.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Numbers 15</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/biblical_weights_and_measures.htm">What are the Biblical weights and measures?</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/where_did_israelites_get_flour_in_wilderness.htm">Numbers 28:5 requires grain offerings; where did the Israelites reliably source and store large quantities of flour in the wilderness?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/was_ezekiel's_'siege_bread'_real.htm">Ezekiel 4:9-12: Is there any historical evidence that this specific type of 'siege bread' was actually made and consumed in ancient times?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/numbers/15.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(4) <span class= "bld">A meat offering of a tenth deal of flour . . . --</span>The meal offering and the drink offering which are here ordered to be brought when a lamb was offered in performance of a vow, or as a free will offering, or at the solemn feasts, are the same as those which were appointed to be offered with the morning and evening lamb.
