Boyd’s Bible Dictionary
:
(spread out). Act of
offering
. The offering itself (
Lev. 2:4
4
And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. (Leviticus 2:4)
).
“Oblation” From
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
Anything presented to
God
. All the
Hebrew
words so translated are also rendered “
offering
,” except
maseth
in
Ezekiel 20:40
40
For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord God, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things. (Ezekiel 20:40)
; it signifies “lifting up,” a gift. See OFFERINGS.
“Offering, Offering Up” From
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
There were two distinct actions connected with the sacrifices. Any Israelite could bring an offering, or offer a gift, or a
sacrifice
; but only the
priest
could offer up the sacrifice on the
altar
to
God
. In the
New
Testament
there are two
Greek
words translated “to offer.” One is
προσφέρω
, “to bring
to
,” “present.” This is used in
Matthew 2:11
11
And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. (Matthew 2:11)
, of the
wise men
who “presented” their
gifts
unto the
Lord
. So too
vinegar
was “offered” to the Lord on the
cross
(
Luke 23:36
36
And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, (Luke 23:36)
).
The word
is referred to the Lord in
Hebrews 9:14, 25,28
14
How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (Hebrews 9:14)
25
Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; (Hebrews 9:25)
28
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. (Hebrews 9:28)
and
Hebrews 10:12
12
But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; (Hebrews 10:12)
. The other word is
ἀναφέρω
, “to bring up,” and hence “to offer
up
.” In
Matthew 17:1
1
And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, (Matthew 17:1)
,
Jesus
“bringeth up”
Peter
; and in
Luke 24:5
5
And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? (Luke 24:5)
1 The Lord was “carried up” into
heaven
. This word is employed in
Hebrews 7:27
27
Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. (Hebrews 7:27)
, both as to the
high priest
“offering up” sacrifices and to Jesus who “offered up” Himself. It occurs also in
Mark 9:2
2
And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them. (Mark 9:2)
;
Hebrews 9:28
28
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. (Hebrews 9:28)
;
Hebrews 13:15
15
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. (Hebrews 13:15)
;
James 2:21
21
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? (James 2:21)
and
1 Peter 2:5,24
5
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 2:5)
24
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. (1 Peter 2:24)
.
In the LXX the word
προσφέρω
is mostly a
translation
of qarab, “to draw near,” which constantly occurs in Leviticus and Numbers in the laws respecting the offering of sacrifices, and is translated “to offer.” On the other hand
ἀναφέρω
is chiefly the rendering adopted for
alah
, “to ascend, to make to ascend.” The word
alah
is frequently translated “to offer,” but only twice in Leviticus (
Lev. 14:20
20
And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean. (Leviticus 14:20)
;
Lev. 17:8
8
And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice, (Leviticus 17:8)
); and four
times
in Numbers (
Num. 23:2,4,14,30
2
And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram. (Numbers 23:2)
4
And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram. (Numbers 23:4)
14
And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar. (Numbers 23:14)
30
And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar. (Numbers 23:30)
), when
Balaam
and
Balak
offered up sacrifices. Both Greek words are applied to Christ as to the offering of Himself (
Heb. 9:14
14
How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (Hebrews 9:14)
;
Heb. 7:27
27
Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. (Hebrews 7:27)
). They are both also used of
Abraham
offering
Isaac
; he gave Isaac, and as a priest virtually offered him up (
Heb. 11:17
17
By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, (Hebrews 11:17)
;
James 2:21
21
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? (James 2:21)
).
