From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

My offering, and my bread ... -Or, my offering, even my bread, etc. Offering is hereקרבןqorbân(compareLeviticus 1:2;Mark 7:11), a term in itself of quite general import, but often especially applied, as apparently in this instance, to the meat-offering which accompanied the sacrifices. This meat-offering connected itself, from its very nature, with the life of the Israelites in Canaan, not with their life in the wilderness; and it was annexed to the animal sacrifices as a token that the people must dedicate to God their property and the fruits of their labor as well as their own persons.
