BIBLE DICTIONARY
MEAT OFFERING

Meat offering or more properly Meal offering. Heb. minchah, consisted chiefly of grain (or flour and cakes made from grain) and wine, seasoned with salt, and offered with incense. The Minchah could not be offered with a sin offering, but no burnt or peace offering was complete without it. Part was placed on the altar of burnt offering; the remainder was usually eaten by the priests in a holy place (Lev. 6: 14-18, 23; Mal. 1: 11). It was such an important part of the daily burnt offering that the term is sometimes used to denote the whole morning or evening sacrifice (e.g., 2 Kgs. 3: 20).
