MEMORIAL PORTION

That portion of the grain offering set apart to the Lord by fire (Lev. 2:2; cf. Num. 5:26). Heb. ʾazkārâ, which designates this part of the offering, is based upon the verb “to remember.” Its function as a token or sign of the Lord’s ownership of the entire harvest, however, has led to various translations. The etymology of the term may still be pertinent though, since the verb can connote the act of remembering by naming or mentioning. Such remembrance or memorializing of Israel’s God was certainly a critical component of this part of the grain offering.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
