Context — Aaron’s First Offerings
15Aaron then presented the people’s offering. He took the male goat for the people’s sin offering, slaughtered it, and offered it for sin like the first one.
16He presented the burnt offering and offered it according to the ordinance.
17Next he presented the grain offering, took a handful of it, and burned it on the altar in addition to the morning’s burnt offering.
18Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram as the people’s peace offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he splattered it on all sides of the altar. 19They also brought the fat portions from the ox and the ram—the fat tail, the fat covering the entrails, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver—Cross References

Leviticus 9:17 Summary
[Leviticus 9:17 tells us about the grain offering that Aaron presented to God. This offering was special because it showed that the people were giving their best to God, just like we should give our best to Him today. The grain offering was a way of saying thank you to God for the food they had and for taking care of them, similar to how we are called to give thanks in everything, as seen in 1 Thessalonians 5:18. By presenting this offering, the people were reminded that everything they had came from God and that they should always put Him first in their lives.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the grain offering in Leviticus 9:17?
The grain offering symbolized the dedication of the people's daily lives to God, as seen in the instructions for its presentation in Leviticus 2:1-10. This offering was a reminder that every aspect of life, including daily work and provision, should be given to God.
Why was a handful of the grain offering burned on the altar?
The act of burning a portion of the grain offering on the altar represented the giving of the people's best to God, similar to the concept of giving God the firstfruits of one's labor, as mentioned in Deuteronomy 26:1-11.
How does this verse relate to the concept of worship in the Bible?
Leviticus 9:17 shows that worship in the Old Testament involved not just sacrifices, but also the presentation of everyday elements like grain, highlighting the comprehensive nature of worship, as also seen in Romans 12:1-2, where believers are called to offer their bodies as living sacrifices.
What can we learn from the sequence of offerings in Leviticus 9?
The sequence of sin offering, burnt offering, and then grain offering in Leviticus 9 teaches us about the progression from atonement for sin to dedication and finally to the presentation of our daily lives to God, reflecting a maturing relationship with Him, as outlined in 2 Corinthians 5:21 and Hebrews 10:14.
Reflection Questions
- How can I, like the grain offering, dedicate my daily life and work to God, recognizing that every aspect of my existence is a gift from Him?
- In what ways can I practically apply the principle of giving God my 'firstfruits' or the best of what I have, whether in time, talent, or treasure?
- What does it mean for me to offer myself as a 'living sacrifice' to God, as mentioned in Romans 12:1-2, and how does this relate to the grain offering in Leviticus 9:17?
- How does the concept of worship as seen in Leviticus 9:17 challenge or encourage me in my personal walk with God, particularly in terms of making every part of my life an act of worship?
Gill's Exposition on Leviticus 9:17
And he brought the meat offering,.... Made of fine flour, with oil and frankincense put upon it, see Leviticus 2:1 and took a handful thereof, and burnt [it] upon the altar; see Leviticus 2:2 beside
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 9:17
And he brought the meat offering, and took an handful thereof, and burnt it upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning. Meat offering ... wave offering.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Leviticus 9:17
The meat-offering was always to be added to the burnt offering. See Leviticus 6. The burnt-sacrifice of the morning was to be first offered every morning; for God will not have his ordinary and stated service swallowed up by extraordinary.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 9:17
(17) And he brought the meat offering.—This Aaron offered according to the rule in Leviticus 2:1-3. Beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning.—That is, in addition to the lamb which was daily offered as a burnt sacrifice, and was accompanied by a meat offering (Exodus 29:30; Exodus 29:40). Accordingly Aaron began his priestly functions by first offering the daily morning sacrifice which took precedence of all other sacrifices, and which was never superseded by the extra offerings: then followed the other sacrifices here described.
Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 9:17
17. The Meal-Offering. The Heb. for taking a handful from the Meal-Offering in this verse is different from that in Leviticus 2:2. besides the burnt offering of the morning] The same words in Numbers 28:23 refer to the continual Burnt-Offering enjoined in Exodus 29:38-42 and Numbers 28:3-8. Are the Burnt-Offerings which have been already offered, or any of them, regarded as ‘the burnt offering of the morning’? or are these last words (so Dillm.) the gloss of a later scribe?
Whedon's Commentary on Leviticus 9:17
