OBLATION.—See Sacrifice and Offering.

(Latin: oblatum, offering)

The offering of the altar bread about to be consecrated. It is placed on the paten and raised aloft by the priest with his eyes on the crucifix. If other particles are to be consecrated, they should be placed on the corporal, or in a ciborium resting on the corporal, as for their valid consecration the priest makes the intention of consecrating all that are so placed.

ob-lā´shun: In Leviticus and Numbers, the King James Version occasionally uses “oblation,” but generally “offering,” as a rendering of קרבּן, ḳorbān - a general term for all kinds of offering, but used only in Ezekiel, Leviticus and Numbers. the Revised Version (British and American) renders consistently “oblation.” In Ezekiel (also Isa 40:20), “oblation” renders תּרוּמה, t^erūmāh, generally translated “heave offering.” In some cases (e.g. Isa 1:13; Dan 9:21) “oblation” in the King James Version corresponds to מנחה, minḥāh, the ordinary word for “gift,” in the Priestly Code (P) “grain offering.” See SACRIFICE.
