along with its grain offering
The grain offering, also known as the "meal offering," was a significant part of the sacrificial system in ancient Israel. It symbolized the dedication of the fruits of human labor to God, acknowledging His provision. This offering was typically made from the firstfruits of the harvest, emphasizing gratitude and reliance on God for sustenance.

of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour
An ephah was a unit of dry measure used in ancient Israel, roughly equivalent to 22 liters or about 5.8 gallons. Two-tenths of an ephah would be approximately 4.4 liters or 1.16 gallons. The use of fine flour indicates the quality and purity required for offerings to God, symbolizing the best of what one has to offer.

mixed with oil
Oil was a common element in offerings, representing richness and the presence of the Holy Spirit. Mixing oil with the flour could symbolize the anointing and sanctification of the offering, setting it apart for holy use. Oil was also a staple in the diet and economy of the region, further emphasizing the offering's value.

a food offering to the LORD
Food offerings were a central part of worship in the Old Testament, serving as a means of fellowship between God and His people. These offerings were not consumed by the offerer but were wholly given to God, signifying total devotion and surrender.

a pleasing aroma
The phrase "a pleasing aroma" is frequently used in the Old Testament to describe sacrifices that are acceptable to God. It signifies God's satisfaction with the offering, which is not based on the physical smell but on the heart and obedience of the worshiper. This concept is echoed in the New Testament, where Christ's sacrifice is described as a "fragrant offering" to God (Ephesians 5:2).

and its drink offering of a quarter hin of wine
A hin was a unit of liquid measure, approximately 3.8 liters or 1 gallon. A quarter hin would be about 0.95 liters or 1 quart. The drink offering, often wine, was poured out as an act of worship and dedication. Wine, a symbol of joy and celebration, also points to the future Messianic banquet and the blood of Christ, which would be poured out for the forgiveness of sins.

Persons / Places / Events
1. The LORD (Yahweh)

Teaching Points
Understanding the Sacrificial System
The grain and drink offerings were integral to Israel's worship, symbolizing dedication, thanksgiving, and joy in God's presence.

Symbolism of the Offerings
The fine flour and oil represent purity and the work of the Holy Spirit, while the wine signifies joy and celebration in God's provision.

Christ as the Fulfillment
Jesus Christ is the ultimate fulfillment of the sacrificial system, offering Himself as the perfect sacrifice for our sins.

Living Sacrifices
As believers, we are called to offer our lives as living sacrifices, dedicating ourselves wholly to God's service.

Joyful Worship
Our worship should be characterized by joy and gratitude, reflecting the spirit of the drink offering.(13) Two tenth deals of fine flour.--Ordinarily only one-tenth deal of fine Hour was required for a meat-offering (Exodus 29:40; Numbers 15:4; Numbers 28:9; Numbers 28:13, &c.), to exhibit the plentiful harvest. With the exception of the handful of flour and oil, and of all the frankincense, this meat-offering was the perquisite of the priests. (See Leviticus 2:2-3.)
