The grain offering, also known as the "meal offering" or "cereal offering," is a significant part of the Levitical sacrificial system. It represents the dedication of the fruits of human labor to God, acknowledging His provision. This offering is distinct from animal sacrifices, emphasizing the importance of both material and spiritual devotion. The grain offering often accompanied burnt offerings, symbolizing the worshiper's gratitude and commitment to God. It is a reminder of the Israelites' dependence on God for sustenance and their responsibility to honor Him with the firstfruits of their labor.Aaron’s sons shall present it before the LORD:
Aaron's sons, the priests, were responsible for presenting the offerings to God, acting as mediators between the people and the divine. This priestly role underscores the importance of order and sanctity in worship. The phrase "before the LORD" indicates the offering's purpose: to honor and glorify God. It highlights the need for reverence and purity in approaching God, as the priests were required to be ceremonially clean. This foreshadows the ultimate High Priest, Jesus Christ, who presents believers' offerings to God through His perfect mediation. in front of the altar:
The altar, located in the Tabernacle's courtyard, was the central place for sacrifices and offerings. Its position "in front of the altar" signifies the offering's direct presentation to God, emphasizing the immediacy and sincerity of worship. The altar represents God's presence and the place where atonement and reconciliation occur. This setting prefigures the cross of Christ, where the ultimate sacrifice was made, reconciling humanity to God. The altar's role in the sacrificial system points to the necessity of a mediator and the shedding of blood for the forgiveness of sins, fulfilled in Jesus' sacrifice. Persons / Places / Events 1.

What does the Bible say about incest?(14) And this is the law of the meatoffering.--In Leviticus 2:1-3, where this meat offering is spoken of, the people are told of what the minchais to consist, and what portion of it was the perquisite of the officiating priest. In the section before us ( Leviticus 6:14-18) additional directions are given to the priests about the eating of the portions which belong to them and about the treatment of the residue. The sons of Aaron shall offer it.--Though in the chapter before us it literally means Aaron's own sons, the phrase is intended to comprise his lineal descendants who succeeded to the priestly office.

Verses 14-18. - The further ritual of the meat offering (see note on chapter Leviticus 2:1). The greater part of it is to be given to the priests, and they and the males of their families are to eat it without adding leaven to it. With unleavened bread shall it be eaten (verse 16) should rather be rendered, Unleavened shall it be eaten. Not only is it most holy itself, but every one (or rather everything) that toucheth the offerings shall be holy. The touch of the offering conveys the character of holiness to the thing touched, which must, therefore, itself be treated as holy.
