14–16 The grain offering had to be ground to fine flour. However, if grain was offered as a firstfruits offering (see Exodus 23:16,19; Leviticus 23:9–11), it would be new grain and thus not easily ground; therefore the crushed heads could be offered instead.
Christians today don’t offer grain offerings on an actual altar, such as the altar of burnt offering. But we do offer “grain offerings” to God every time we give a loaf of bread to a hungry person, every time we give clothes to the naked and lodging to the homeless. Every donation to the church or to a missionary is like a “grain offering” to the Lord (Philippians 4:18; Hebrews 13:16). All of these expressions of love for God’s servants and for the needy are true and pleasing offerings to God. Jesus said: “. . . whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me” (Matthew 25:40).
Further information concerning the grain offering is given in Leviticus 6:14–23.
