Subjects in this Topic:

ob-lā´shun: In Leviticus and Numbers, the King James Version occasionally uses “oblation,” but generally “offering,” as a rendering of קרבּן, ḳorbān - a general term for all kinds of offering, but used only in Ezekiel, Leviticus and Numbers. the Revised Version (British and American) renders consistently “oblation.” In Ezekiel (also ), “oblation” renders תּרוּמה, terūmāh, generally translated “heave offering.” In some cases (e.g. ; ) “oblation” in the King James Version corresponds to מנחה, minḥāh, the ordinary word for “gift,” in the Priestly Code (P) “grain offering.” See SACRIFICE.
