1. Types of Grain Offerings (vv. 1–10):

Fine flour with oil and frankincense, brought uncooked or prepared (baked, griddled, or fried).

No yeast or honey was allowed—yeast symbolized sin and corruption.

Salt was required—symbol of God's covenant (v. 13).

Part was burned on the altar ("memorial portion"), and the rest was eaten by the priests.

2. Voluntary and Holy:

It was not for atonement but a gift of gratitude and dedication.

Offered alongside burnt or peace offerings to complete the worship.

3. Offered from Daily Life:

The use of flour and oil symbolized daily provision, showing that all we have comes from God.

Spiritual Lessons
God values offerings from the heart, even simple gifts like flour.

Holiness in worship matters—God gave clear guidelines to follow.

Dedication to God includes our daily work and resources.

Christ Connection
The grain offering points to Christ as the Bread of Life (John 6:35). It also reflects His perfect, sinless life offered in service to God.
