If your offering
The Hebrew word for "offering" is "קָרְבָּן" (korban), which signifies something brought near or presented to God. This reflects the heart of worship, where the act of offering is a means of drawing closer to the divine. In the context of Leviticus, offerings were a central part of Israelite worship, symbolizing dedication, thanksgiving, and atonement.

is a grain offering
The grain offering, or "מִנְחָה" (minchah), was a tribute to God, often representing the fruits of one's labor. Unlike animal sacrifices, grain offerings were bloodless, emphasizing the provision and sustenance God provides. This offering was a way for the Israelites to acknowledge God's sovereignty over the land and their dependence on Him for daily sustenance.

prepared on a griddle
The griddle, or "מַחֲבַת" (machavat), was a flat cooking surface used in ancient times. This method of preparation indicates a simple, humble offering, accessible to all, regardless of wealth. It underscores the idea that God values the heart behind the offering more than the offering itself, as even the simplest gifts, when given with sincerity, are pleasing to Him.

it must be of fine flour
"Fine flour" or "סֹלֶת" (solet) represents the best of the harvest, a refined and pure product. Offering fine flour signifies giving God the best of what one has, a principle that resonates throughout Scripture. It is a call to excellence in worship, reminding believers to offer their best in service and devotion to God.

unleavened
Leaven, or yeast, often symbolizes sin or corruption in the Bible. The requirement for the offering to be unleavened, or "מַצָּה" (matzah), highlights the need for purity and holiness in approaching God. It serves as a reminder of the Israelites' deliverance from Egypt, where unleavened bread was eaten in haste, symbolizing a break from the past and a new beginning in God's covenant.

mixed with oil
Oil, or "שֶׁמֶן" (shemen), is frequently associated with anointing and the presence of the Holy Spirit. Mixing the offering with oil signifies consecration and the infusion of divine grace. It points to the work of the Holy Spirit in the believer's life, enabling them to live a life pleasing to God and to offer themselves as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to Him.

(5) Baken in a pan.--Better, a flat plate. This is probably the iron fire-plate (Ezekiel 5:3), with a convex surface, which is placed horizontally upon stones about nine inches from the ground, and underneath which the fire is kindled, used by the Arabs to this day. The large thin cakes, and the thin wafer bread, are laid upon the convex surface, where they are baked in comparatively few minutes. These baking operations took place in the court of the sanctuary, where the vessels of ministration were kept (Ezekiel 46:20; 1Chronicles 23:28-29).
