Leviticus 2 (WK) - Bible Truth Library

meat offering.{Minchah,} from the Arabic {manacha,} to give, especially as a reciprocal gift, a gift, oblation, or eucharistical or gratitude offering, for the bounties of providence displayed in the fruits of the earth.

It is termed a meat offering by our translators, because the term meat in their time was the general name for food.

Lev. 6:14‑18,20‑23• ¹⁴And this is the law of the meal offering; the sons of Aaron shall present it before Jehovah, before the altar.
¹⁵And he shall take of it his handful of the fine flour of the meal offering and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which is on the meal offering, and shall burn [it] on the altar: a sweet odour of the memorial thereof to Jehovah.
¹⁶And the remainder thereof Aaron and his sons shall eat: unleavened shall it be eaten in a holy place; in the court of the tent of meeting shall they eat it.
¹⁷It shall not be baked with leaven. As their portion I have given it of my fire offerings: it is most holy, as the sin offering and as the trespass offering.
¹⁸All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it: an everlasting statute in your generations, from Jehovah's fire offerings; whatever toucheth these shall be holy.
²⁰This [is] the offering of Aaron and his sons, which they shall present to Jehovah on the day when he is anointed: the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour, as a continual meal offering, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening.
²¹In a pan with oil it shall be made; saturated thou shalt bring it in; baken pieces of the meal offering shalt thou present, a sweet odour unto Jehovah.
²²And the anointed priest that shall be in his stead from his sons, shall make it: an everlasting statute, it shall be wholly burnt unto Jehovah.
