The Importance of Timing The concept of "appointed time" teaches us the value of God's timing in our lives. We should seek to align our actions and decisions with His divine schedule. Sacrificial Living While we no longer offer burnt sacrifices, our lives should be a living sacrifice, dedicated to God in all we do, reflecting His holiness and love. God's Pleasure in Our Offerings Our offerings, whether they be time, resources, or talents, should be given with a heart that seeks to please God, knowing that He delights in our sincere devotion.

It may denote in this place the minchah, or meal offering, or the shew-bread, offerings which were directly connected with a settled life in Canaan rather than with a nomadic life in the wilderness. Or the word lehem (bread) may be used to denote food generally, the sacrificial offerings being symbolically regarded as the Lord's food. (Comp. Leviticus 3:11; Leviticus 3:16, where the same word is rendered food, and where the reference is to a portion of the flesh of the lamb and of the goat of the peace offering. See also Malachi 3:7.)Verse 2. - My offering, and my bread. Literally, "my korban, my bread." The general term korban (anything offered to God; cf. Numbers 7:3; Mark 7:11) is here restricted by the words which follow to the meat offering. "Bread" (לֶחֶם) is translated "food" in Leviticus 3:11, 16 (see the note there). Sweet savour. רֵיחַ.
