Meat-offering: (Heb. minhah), originally a gift of any kind. This Hebrew word came
latterly to denote an "unbloody" sacrifice, as opposed to a "bloody"
sacrifice. A "drink-offering" generally accompanied it. The law
regarding it is given in
(Leviticus 2:1)
(Leviticus 6:14-23) It was a recognition
of the sovereignty of God and of his bounty in giving all earthly
blessings
(1 Chronicles 29:10-14; Deuteronomy 26:5-11) It was an offering which took
for granted and was based on the offering for sin. It followed the
sacrifice of blood. It was presented every day with the burnt-offering
(Exodus 29:40,41) and consisted of flour or of cakes prepared in a
special way with oil and frankincense.
