qorban (kor-bawn), “brought near, present”; a mind offering: #7133
It’s root, qarab (kaw-rah), “approach, bring near”; #7126
The root of our Hebrew word for offerings suggests
being drawn to, while the word itself speaks to the result of
the root word. Indeed it is Yahweh the wooer, and it is the

soul made receptive that offers a response in kind.
mincah (min-khaw), “apportion, bestow a donation, tribute”; consciously give; #4503

This also is a word commonly translated as “offerings” and is utilized in the verses we will explore.
asham (aw-shawm), “guilt, fault”; a repentive mind offering;#817
Its root, aham (aw-shawm), “be guilty, punished”: #816
teruwmah (ter-oo-maw), “present, sacrifice”; conscious gratitude; #8641
Its root, rumw (room), “high, raise”; #7311
A conscience with wisdom and understanding rises up in sacrificial praise and obedience, focusing on the “Author and Perfecter” within.

And so we now have a well rounded view of Hebrew words and their definitions in regards to the words commonly known as “offering” and “offerings”. I have already alluded to intent while defining terms and we will now shore up the intent with scriptures. The first actual offering (mincah, #4503) introduced in Scripture is at Genesis 4:3 — “And on one of Yahweh’s Sabbaths (mind rest during the Feasts), it came to pass that Cain (“possession, acquisition”; selfish thoughts; #7014) brought an offering (“bestow a donation”; the selfish thoughts that convince one it is of some personal “good” that one is offering to Yahweh; #4503) of the fruit (thoughts borne forth) of the ground (“soil, redress”; the carnal mind, earth; 44127, see, “As Soon As Everyone Is Seated…”) to Yahweh.”

And so we come to understand several things: 1) The selfish mind (Cain) was made aware of the Feasts and their offerings long before Mosheh; 2) The selfish mind never obeys the commands as per the specific instructions of Yahweh, but rather devises its own form of “holiness”; 3) The carnal mind, void of the breath of Yahweh, can never fulfill the commands of Yahweh.

“And Abel (“emptiness, vanity”; thoughts acknowledging the need for complete mental salvation; 441892), also brought an offering (“tribute”; #4503) of the firstlings (“primogeniture, chief”; acknowledgment of renewal by the breath of Yahweh; #1062) of his flock (“migrate”; regenerating thoughts; #6629) and of their fat (abundance), and Yahweh honored (consciously empowered and blessed) Abel (mind dependant upon Yahweh) and his offering.” (Genesis 4:4)
