Leviticus 3:11

3:11 Then the priest must offer it up in smoke on the altar as a food gift to the Lord. ¹ 

Ezekiel 44:7

44:7 When you bring foreigners, those uncircumcised in heart and in flesh, into my sanctuary, you desecrate ²  it – even my house – when you offer my food, the fat and the blood. You ³  have broken my covenant by all your abominable practices.

Malachi 1:7

1:7 You are offering improper sacrifices on my altar, yet you ask, ‘How have we offended you?’ By treating the table ⁴  of the Lord as if it is of no importance!

¹ tn Heb “food, a gift to the Lord.”

² tn Heb “to desecrate.”

³ tc The Greek, Syriac, and Latin versions read “you.” The Masoretic text reads “they.”

⁴ sn The word table, here a synonym for “altar,” has overtones of covenant imagery in which a feast shared by the covenant partners was an important element (see Exod 24:11). It also draws attention to the analogy of sitting down at a common meal with the governor (v. 8).
