The Burnt, Grain, Peace and Sin OfferingsBible World

Leviticus 2:1

And when any will offer a meat offering unto the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:

The offering described is formed from fine flour rather than from any slaughtered creature. Oil is poured upon that flour, and frankincense is set upon it to complete the preparation. In this use the word meat therefore denotes food in the general sense of nourishment and provision. It does not mean animal flesh.
