ge.re.s denotes grain prepared in connection with an offering, including firstfruits and the priest's memorial portion.

The term occurs for prepared grain within offering instructions: in Leviticus 2:14 it belongs to a firstfruits grain offering, and in Leviticus 2:16 it is taken with oil and frankincense for the priest's memorial-burning.

Senses in use

  1. Prepared grain in offering rites · dominant

    Both occurrences are masculine singular construct forms within offering instructions. In Leviticus 2:14 the APB renders the firstfruits offering as including “Abib roasted in fire or crushed grain of the plantation”; in Leviticus 2:16 it renders the memorial as burned “from its crushed grain and from its oil,” together with frankincense.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “crushed grain” in both verses, placing it first in a firstfruits offering and then among the material from which the priest burns the memorial. This repeated wording confirms the verse-level presentation rather than isolating every contribution of the Hebrew term.
