1 Chronicles 21:23 -

Ornan's offer to David of the threshing-floor and all its belongings, as a gift, reminds of Ephron's offer to Abraham ( Genesis 23:11 ). Ornan's prompt offer of gift was, perhaps, all the prompter from the desire to render every assistance to the staying of the plague. For burnt offerings … for the meat offering. The whole code of regulations for offerings—sin offering, trespass offering, peace offering, burnt offering, meat and drink offering—is to be found in Leviticus 1-7. As regards the burnt offering , see Leviticus 1:1-17 .; Leviticus 6:8-13 . It was called עֹלָה , from its "ascending" accepted to heaven, or else from its being put up or raised up (Hiph. conjugation) on the altar; and sometimes כָּלִיל , from being "wholly" consumed. The sin and trespass offerings were for special sins, but this was of a more comprehensive kind and of much greater dignity, as standing for the "purging of the conscience." The entire consuming of the sacrifice signified the unqualified self-surrender of him who brought the sacrifice. It was a voluntary offering, the offerer laid his hand on the head of the victim, and the blood of the victim was sprinkled round about the altar. The meat offering ( מִנְחָה ) is fully described in Leviticus it.; Leviticus 6:14-23 . It was an offering without blood, and therefore was an accompaniment of an offering of blood. It was composed of flour or cakes, prepared with salt, oil, and frank-incense—the salt emblematic of non-decay; the oil, of spiritual grace; and the frankincense, of acceptable fragrance. A portion of this offering was to be burnt, and a portion eaten by the priests in the court, unless it was for a priest himself, when all must be burnt. Meantime a drink offering of wine was, in fact, a part of the meat offering itself ( Exodus 29:40 , Exodus 29:41 ; Leviticus 23:13 ; Numbers 15:4-7 , Numbers 15:9 , Numbers 15:10 ). The material of the meat offering might be the green or fresh-gathered ears of corn. The Septuagint translates δῶρον ; Luther, speis-opfer ; and it need scarcely be said that our Authorized Version meat offering exhibits only the generic employment of the word "meat" for food.
