These entries provide a comprehensive understanding of the term מִנְחָה as it relates to sacrificial offerings in the biblical context, emphasizing its role in religious worship and covenantal practices. Usage: The term מִנְחָה is used in the context of offerings, particularly those that are presented as a tribute or gift to God. It is often associated with sacrifices and offerings made in the temple or during religious ceremonies. Context: The Aramaic term מִנְחָה (minḥâ) appears in the context of sacrificial offerings, primarily in the books of Ezra and Daniel, which contain sections written in Aramaic. In the ancient Near Eastern context, offerings were a central aspect of religious practice, serving as a means of worship, atonement, and thanksgiving. The מִנְחָה could include various types of offerings, such as grain, animals, or other valuable items, depending on the specific requirements of the religious observance. In the book of Ezra, the term is used to describe offerings made during the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem, highlighting the importance of sacrificial practices in re-establishing the worship of Yahweh after the Babylonian exile. For example, in Ezra 7:17, the text refers to offerings of bulls, rams, and lambs, along with their grain offerings and drink offerings, to be presented on the altar of the house of God in Jerusalem. In Daniel, the term is used in a prophetic context, where it is associated with the cessation of regular offerings during a period of tribulation. This highlights the centrality of sacrificial offerings in maintaining the covenant relationship between God and His people.
