LEVITICUS 2

LAWS FOR GRAIN OFFERINGS 

God gives Moses instructions to share with the Israelites regarding grain offerings. 

The grain offerings are allowed to contain oil, frankincense, and salt, but not honey or leavened bread. Because salt is frequently used to preserve meat and other goods, salt is representative of preserving God’s covenant. 

God has blessed the Israelites with fertile and abundant crops, and they are responding to this provision by offering God a portion of what He has provided.
