Leviticus 3:11

And the priest shall burn them upon the altar, for the food of the fire, and of the oblation of the Lord.

Food, destined for the honour of God, and to be consumed by fire. In other places, God calls these sacrifices his food, and the altar his table. (Chap. 21:21.; Malachias 1:7, 12.)
