Webster's 1828 Dictionary

How the English word “offering” was understood when the King James Version was still the common Bible of English readers.

OF'FERING, participle present

tense Presenting; proposing; sacrificing; bidding; presenting to the eye or mind.

    All definitions and other forms of “offering”

      OF'FERING, noun

      That which is presented in divine service; an animal or a portion of bread or corn, or of gold and silver, or other valuable articles, presented to God as an atonement for sin, or as a return of thanks for his favors, or for other religious purpose; a sacrifice; an oblation. In the Mosaic economy, there were burnt-offerings, sin-offerings, peace-offerings, trespass-offerings, thank-offerings, wave-offerings, and wood-offerings. Pagan nations also present offerings to their deities. Christ by the offering of himself has superseded the use of all other offerings, having made atonement for all men.
