Bible Summary:

People offering grain to God must first grind it into flour and then place olive oil and incense on it before giving it to the priest. If the offering is bread, whether baked in an oven, on a griddle, or in a pan, it must be made without yeast. The priest is to burn part of the offering on the altar and then keep the rest. The people are also to offer the first grain of the harvest to God each year, salted to represent the covenant with God.

My Thoughts:

I never knew they had ovens, griddles and pans 3500 years ago in which to make unleavened bread. I guess I always knew about the brick ovens, but not the pans.

Bread: the offering of bread during the religious ceremony goes back to Moses?  I never really connected that.  This is so eye opening and interesting.

Salt Preserves: I believe the salt in the grain “preserves” the covenant with God just as much as it preserved the grain. Salt has been important to the history of humans for thousands of years. Next time you grab some food, look at the sodium content to see how much salt is in your food.
