The Third Book of Moses, Called Leviticus, Chapter Two <>< <>< ><> ><> 1. What did the LORD tell Moses the offering is to be made of if someone brings a grain offering, what did the LORD say they are to pour on it, what did the LORD say was to be put on it, who did the LORD say they were to take it to, what did the LORD say the priests are to do, what was this offering made by, what is the aroma to the LORD, who does the rest of the offering belong to, and what is this to the LORD?
________________________________________________________________________________ The grain offering accompanied all burnt offerings and was a gift of thanks to God. It reminded the people that their food came from God and that therefore they owed their lives to him. 2. How did the LORD tell Moses the offering that is baked in an oven is to be made, how did the LORD tell Moses the offering that is prepared on a griddle is to be made, what did the LORD say to do with it (the offering that is prepared on a griddle) if it is a grain offering, how did the LORD tell Moses the offering that is cooked in a pan is to be made, where are they to bring the grain offering made of these things, who are they to present the grain offering to, where will they take the grain offerings, what shall the priest do, what is pleasing to the LORD, and who does the rest of the offering belong to?
________________________________________________________________________________ Three kinds of grain offerings are listed: (1) fine flour with oil and incense, (2) baked cakes or wafers of fine flour and oil, and (3) roasted kernels of grain (corn) with oil and incense. The absence of yeast symbolized the absence of sin, and the oil symbolized God's presence. Part of the grain offering was burned on the altar as a gift to God, and the rest was eaten by the priests. The offerings helped support them in their work. 3. What did the LORD tell Moses every grain offering that is brought to him must be made without, what did the LORD say was not to be burnt in an offering made to him by fire, what did the LORD say they could bring this offering to him as, and what is this offering not to be offered on the altar as?
________________________________________________________________________________ Why was no yeast allowed in the grain offerings? Yeast is a bacterial fungus or mold and is, therefore, an appropriate symbol for sin. It grows in bread dough just as sin grows in a life. A little yeast will affect the whole loaf, just as a little sin can ruin a whole life. Jesus continued this analogy by warning about the "yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees." <>< <>< ><> ><>
<>< <>< ><> ><> 4. What did the LORD tell Moses to season all his grain offerings with, what did the LORD say to leave out of his grain offerings, and what is he to add salt to?
________________________________________________________________________________ The offerings were seasoned with salt as a reminder of the
people's covenant (contract) with God. Salt is a good symbol of God's activity
in a person's life, because it penetrates, preserves, and aids in healing. God
wants to be active in your life. Let him become part of you, penetrating every
aspect of your life, preserving you from the evil all around, and healing you of
your sins and shortcomings. 5. What did the LORD tell Moses he is to offer if he brings a grain offering of firstfruits, what did the LORD say to put on it, what did the LORD say the priest shall burn, and what did the LORD say this was?
________________________________________________________________________________ Crushed heads of new grain mixed with oil and baked was typical food for the average person. This offering was a token presentation of a person's daily food. In this way, people acknowledged God as provider of their food. Even a poor person could fulfill this offering. God was pleased by the motivation and the dedication of the persons making it.
