Crumble it
The Hebrew word for "crumble" is "פָּרוֹס" (paros), which means to break or divide into pieces. This act of crumbling the grain offering signifies humility and the breaking down of one's own pride before God. In the ancient Near Eastern context, breaking bread or grain was a communal act, symbolizing fellowship and unity. Spiritually, it reflects the believer's willingness to be broken and used by God, acknowledging that our lives are to be offered in service and submission to His will.

and pour oil on it
The use of oil, "שֶׁמֶן" (shemen) in Hebrew, is significant in biblical symbolism. Oil was a precious commodity in ancient Israel, often used for anointing, signifying the presence and blessing of the Holy Spirit. Pouring oil on the grain offering represents consecration and sanctification. It is a reminder that our offerings to God should be accompanied by the anointing of the Holy Spirit, making our service and worship acceptable and pleasing to Him. Historically, oil was also used for healing and light, further emphasizing the transformative power of God's Spirit in our lives.

it is a grain offering
The term "grain offering" comes from the Hebrew "מִנְחָה" (minchah), which refers to a gift or tribute. In the context of Leviticus, the grain offering was a voluntary act of worship, expressing gratitude and devotion to God. It was distinct from animal sacrifices, highlighting the diversity of offerings acceptable to God. The grain offering symbolizes the fruit of our labor and the dedication of our daily work to the Lord. It serves as a reminder that every aspect of our lives, including our work and sustenance, is to be offered to God in thanksgiving and praise. Historically, this offering was a staple in the Israelite sacrificial system, underscoring the importance of acknowledging God's provision and sovereignty in all things.

(6) Thou shalt part it in pieces.--The cake thus baked was not to be offered as a whole, but broken up in pieces and mingled with oil. Bread, broken in pieces and steeped in oil, butter, milk, or sweet juices, still constitutes a favourite dish among the Bedouin Arabs.
