And you are to bring
This phrase emphasizes the personal responsibility and active participation of the worshiper in the sacrificial system. The Hebrew root for "bring" is "בּוֹא" (bo), which means to come or to enter. This action signifies an intentional approach to God, highlighting the importance of willingly offering one's best to the Lord. It reflects a heart posture of obedience and reverence, acknowledging God's sovereignty and provision.

the grain offering
The grain offering, or "מִנְחָה" (minchah) in Hebrew, was a tribute to God, often consisting of fine flour, oil, and frankincense. It symbolizes the fruit of human labor and the dedication of one's sustenance to God. Historically, this offering was a non-blood sacrifice, representing thanksgiving and devotion. It underscores the principle that all provisions come from God and should be offered back to Him in gratitude.

made of these things
This phrase refers to the specific ingredients prescribed for the grain offering. The use of fine flour, oil, and frankincense was not arbitrary but carried significant meaning. Fine flour represented purity and the best of one's produce, oil symbolized the Holy Spirit and anointing, and frankincense was a symbol of prayer and worship. Together, they illustrate a holistic offering of one's life and resources to God.

to the LORD
The phrase "to the LORD" indicates the ultimate recipient of the offering. The Hebrew name used here is "יְהוָה" (YHWH), the covenant name of God, emphasizing His personal relationship with His people. This offering was not merely a ritualistic act but a relational one, acknowledging God's lordship and expressing worship and allegiance to Him.

Present it to the priest
The priest acted as a mediator between the people and God. The Hebrew word for priest is "כֹּהֵן" (kohen), which denotes one who serves in sacred duties. By presenting the offering to the priest, the worshiper engaged in the divinely ordained system of mediation, foreshadowing the ultimate High Priest, Jesus Christ, who mediates the new covenant.

who shall bring it to the altar
The altar was the sacred place where offerings were made to God. The Hebrew word for altar is "מִזְבֵּחַ" (mizbeach), meaning a place of sacrifice. The act of bringing the offering to the altar signifies the transition from the earthly to the divine, where human offerings are consecrated and accepted by God. It is a powerful reminder of the need for atonement and the sanctification of one's gifts and life before the Lord.

(8) And thou shalt bring.--Whichever of the three cereal preparations is preferred, the offerer is to present it to the priest, who is to take it to the altar. During the second Temple, the pieces were put into a ministering vessel, oil and frankincense were then put on them, and the vessel was carried by the offerer to the priest, and the priest carried it to the altar and brought it to the south-west.
