Leviticus 2:4–10

About this episode
When modern Christians encounter a book like Leviticus, our eyes have a tendency to glaze over. We see the meticulous detail about sacrifices, offerings, and rituals, and we are tempted to think it is little more than an ancient, dusty rulebook that Christ has made obsolete. Because Christ has come, we are in a position to understand these sacrifices more profoundly than any Old Testament saint ever could. We must begin by understanding what the grain offering, the Minchah, is not. There is no blood, no laying on of hands to transfer guilt, no death. The grain offering is fundamentally an act of worship and tribute, a recognition of God's goodness and provision. It was often offered alongside the burnt offering, which was an offering of total consecration. It is a tribute offered by a loyal subject to his sovereign king.
