Gifted baked good

A bread offering is a religious gift of bread presented to a deity or used in worship.

In ancient Israelite practice, it referred to unleavened cakes or loaves placed before God in the tabernacle or temple.

The term appears in biblical contexts alongside burnt offerings and other sacrifices: The priest shall present the bread offering before the altar.
