3 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “offering” →
The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD ; the priests, the LORD’s ministers, mourn.
Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God.
Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?
