What does the Bible say about meat-offerings?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes meat-offerings as a type that represents Christ's sacrifice for believers.

In the Bible, specifically in Leviticus, meat-offerings are presented as symbols foreshadowing the ultimate sacrifice of Christ. The term 'minchah' used for meat-offering signifies not only the offerings themselves but is a figure of Christ’s oblation, who offered Himself up as a sweet-smelling savor to God (Ephesians 5:2). Each type of meat-offering had its specific significance and ultimately pointed to how believers are sanctified and accepted through Christ’s once-for-all offering (Hebrews 10:5-10). Thus, meat-offerings underscore the connection between Jesus’ sacrifice and the believers’ call to offer themselves as living sacrifices.
