The commandments regarding grain offerings in the Book of Leviticus state "every offering of your grain offering you shall season with salt; you shall not allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your grain offering. With all your offerings you shall offer salt." [4]
A meal offering, grain offering, or gift offering (Biblical Hebrew: מנחה, minkhah), is a type of Biblical sacrifice, specifically a sacrifice that did not include sacrificial animals. In older English it is sometimes called an oblation , from Latin.

Leviticus 2:14 describes the omer offering, brought on Passover, as bikkurim (of barley). In Leviticus 23:9 it is described as reishit ketzirchem (the first of your harvest) but not as bikkurim. Leviticus 23:17 describes the special offering of shtei halechem on Shavuot, referring to it as bikkurim (first-fruits of the wheat harvest).
The offering consisted of one omer of freshly harvested grain, and was waved in the Temple. [1] It was offered on Passover , and signaled the beginning of the 49-day counting of the Omer (which concluded with the Shavuot holiday), as well as permission to consume chadash (grains from the new harvest).
