An offering of flour, oil, and frankincense — a gift of gratitude and devotion to God
lightbulbThe non-animal sacrifice — flour, oil, and frankincense offered as devotion to God
Described in Leviticus 2, the grain offering (also called the 'meal offering' or 'cereal offering') was made of fine flour mixed with oil and frankincense. Part was burned on the altar; the rest went to the priests. Unlike burnt offerings, no blood was shed — it was a gift of gratitude, acknowledging that God provides daily bread. It often accompanied other sacrifices, showing that worship involves all of life, not just the dramatic moments.
