Berean Study Bible

Along with their grain offering
The phrase "grain offering" comes from the Hebrew word "minchah," which signifies a gift or tribute. In the context of the Old Testament, it represents an offering of gratitude and devotion to God. The grain offering was a vital part of the sacrificial system, symbolizing the fruits of human labor and the dedication of one's sustenance to the Lord. It reflects the principle that all provisions come from God, and thus, a portion is returned to Him in acknowledgment of His providence.

of fine flour
The term "fine flour" is derived from the Hebrew "solet," indicating the highest quality of flour, finely milled and pure. This signifies the offering of the best and most refined resources to God, underscoring the importance of giving God our best in worship and service. The use of fine flour in offerings highlights the call for purity and excellence in our spiritual lives, as we present ourselves as living sacrifices to God.

mixed with oil
Oil, or "shemen" in Hebrew, was a symbol of richness, joy, and the Holy Spirit's anointing. Mixing oil with the fine flour in the grain offering signifies the infusion of divine presence and blessing in the offering. It represents the work of the Holy Spirit in the believer's life, enabling and sanctifying our offerings to God. The oil also points to the joy and gladness that should accompany our acts of worship and service.

three-tenths of an ephah with each bull
The measurement "three-tenths of an ephah" indicates a specific and substantial portion, reflecting the importance and value of the offering. An ephah was a unit of dry measure used in ancient Israel, and the precise measurement underscores the order and intentionality in worship. The bull, a significant and valuable animal, represents strength and service, and the substantial grain offering accompanying it highlights the magnitude of the sacrifice and the dedication required in serving God.

two-tenths with the ram
The "two-tenths" portion for the ram indicates a slightly lesser, yet still significant, offering compared to the bull. The ram, often associated with leadership and sacrifice, was used in various offerings and symbolizes obedience and submission to God's will. The specific measurement for the ram's grain offering reflects the structured and thoughtful approach to worship, emphasizing that each offering, whether large or small, is significant in the eyes of God when given with a sincere heart.
