Offering of first fruits.
Looking at the type of offerings and oblations mandated, one
may see at once that God’s intention was to make it easy for everyone who
willed to be able to afford something to give. Whether it be a burnt offering
of an animal, an offering of fine flour or in this latter case an offering of
first fruits. And so it was provided, “if
you bring an oblation of first fruit, you shall offer it unto the Lord; but
they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savor. And when the offering
was a first fruit offering for a meal offering, it shall be for the offering
green ears of grain, dried by the fire, even grain beaten out of full ears.
There shall be put on it oil and frankincense, for a meal offering.
And the
priest shall burn a memorial of it, part of the beaten grain thereof, and part
of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof, as an offering made by
fire unto the Lord.
