Then take them from their hands and burn them on the altar along with the burnt offering for a pleasing aroma to the Lord, a food offering presented to the Lord. The wave offerings that were placed in the priests' hands are burned on the altar with the burnt offering — the grain offering and the animal offering together constitute one offering presented to God. The combined pleasing aroma of grain and animal is the complete offering — the fullness of what the covenant community presents to God. Every subsequent burnt offering and grain offering presented together in Israel's worship reaches back to this ordination moment, when the first complete offering was made in the presence of God.
