And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.
The offering baked in the pan was formed from finely ground flour left without leaven and blended together with oil. Its makeup proves that a meat offering under the Jewish system did not require the flesh of an animal but could be entirely of vegetable food. The word meat in such a use therefore denotes nourishment or provisions in general rather than flesh meat alone. Leviticus 2 establishes this broader sense by applying the term to flour and oil prepared as an oblation.
