a tenth of an ephah
The ephah was a unit of dry measure used in ancient Israel, roughly equivalent to 22 liters or about half a bushel. The "tenth of an ephah" signifies a tithe, a concept deeply rooted in the Hebrew tradition of offering a portion of one's resources back to God. This practice underscores the principle of stewardship and gratitude, reminding the Israelites that all they possess is ultimately from the Lord. The tithe is a recurring theme throughout Scripture, symbolizing trust in God's provision and a heart of worship.

fine flour
The use of "fine flour" indicates the quality and purity expected in offerings to God. In the Hebrew context, fine flour was sifted and refined, representing the best of what one could offer. This reflects the broader biblical principle that God deserves our best, not our leftovers. The offering of fine flour can be seen as a metaphor for the believer's life, which should be refined and dedicated wholly to God, free from impurities and distractions.

as a grain offering
The grain offering, or "minchah" in Hebrew, was a voluntary act of worship, expressing devotion and thanksgiving to God. It was distinct from sin offerings, focusing instead on fellowship and gratitude. This offering was a reminder of God's provision and the sustenance He provides. In a broader sense, it points to the spiritual nourishment believers receive from God, encouraging a life of continual thanksgiving and reliance on Him.

mixed with a quarter hin
A "hin" was a unit of liquid measure, approximately 3.7 liters or about one gallon. A "quarter hin" would thus be about 0.9 liters. The mixing of flour with oil in the offering signifies unity and completeness. Oil, often symbolic of the Holy Spirit in Scripture, when mixed with the flour, represents the anointing and empowerment of the Spirit in the believer's life. This mixture highlights the necessity of the Spirit's work in making our offerings acceptable to God.

of pressed oil
Pressed oil, likely olive oil, was a staple in ancient Israelite culture, used for cooking, lighting, and anointing. The process of pressing olives to extract oil is symbolic of the trials and pressures that produce spiritual maturity and purity. In the biblical narrative, oil often represents joy, healing, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. The use of pressed oil in offerings signifies the believer's reliance on the Spirit's work and the joy that comes from a life dedicated to God.

(5) Beaten oil.--See Exodus 27:20, and Note.
