“And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the Lord for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.”
Together with its grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with olive oil — a food offering presented to the Lord, a pleasing aroma — and its drink offering of a quarter of a hin of wine. The grain offering and drink offering accompanying the firstfruits burnt offering are the most complete offering package: animal, grain, and drink together. The finest flour and olive oil and the wine communicate the quality of the provision that accompanies the acknowledgment of God's ownership. The pleasing aroma formula grounds the firstfruits ceremony in the same acceptance category as every other properly presented offering.
