His offering
The phrase "His offering" refers to the specific contribution made by a leader of the tribe of Ephraim during the dedication of the altar. In the Hebrew context, the word for offering, "קָרְבָּן" (korban), signifies something brought near to God, symbolizing the worshiper's desire to draw closer to the divine. This act of giving is not merely a ritual but a profound expression of devotion and commitment to God.

one silver dish
The "silver dish" is a significant item in the offering, symbolizing wealth and purity. Silver, in biblical times, was a precious metal often associated with redemption and refinement. The dish's use in the offering underscores the value and sincerity of the gift presented to God.

weighing a hundred and thirty shekels
The specific weight of "a hundred and thirty shekels" indicates the substantial nature of the offering. The shekel was a standard unit of weight and currency in ancient Israel, and its mention here emphasizes the precision and care in fulfilling the requirements of the offering. This precision reflects the importance of obedience and exactness in worship.

one silver bowl of seventy shekels
The "silver bowl" complements the dish, and its weight of "seventy shekels" further highlights the generosity and significance of the offering. The bowl, like the dish, is a vessel, symbolizing the capacity to hold and present something valuable to God. The specific weight again underscores the careful adherence to divine instructions.

according to the sanctuary shekel
The phrase "according to the sanctuary shekel" indicates that the weights used were standardized according to the measures kept in the sanctuary. This standardization ensured fairness and uniformity in offerings, reflecting the order and holiness required in worship. It also points to the centrality of the sanctuary as the place of divine presence and authority.

both of them full of fine flour mixed with oil
The contents of the vessels, "fine flour mixed with oil," are significant in the context of a grain offering. Fine flour represents the best of the harvest, and oil is often associated with anointing and the Holy Spirit. Together, they symbolize the offering of one's best to God, infused with the Spirit's presence and blessing.

for a grain offering
The "grain offering" is one of the key offerings in the Levitical system, representing thanksgiving and dedication to God. It is a non-blood offering, emphasizing the worshiper's gratitude and acknowledgment of God's provision. This offering is a reminder of the covenant relationship between God and His people, where the faithful response is one of gratitude and devotion.
