My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast even set it before them for a sweet savour: and thus it was, saith the Lord GOD.

My meat ... which I gave thee - (Hosea 2:8).

Thou hast even set it before them - as a minchaah (H4503) or "meat offering" of fine flour with oil and frankincense (Leviticus 2:1).

Thou hast even set it before them for a sweet savour - literally, 'a savour of rest,' i:e., whereby they might be propitiated, and be at peace ("rest" ) with you. How ridiculous to seek to propitiate gods of wood!

Thus it was - the fact cannot be denied, because I saw it, and say it was so, saith the Lord God.
