ustwo, this is mainly related to Old Testament scripture... though i suppose it is still on topic because it is dealing with sacrifices in the Judeo-Christian context.
i doubt it is that God particularly like burn grain, animals and whatever else. When those words were written, that is what people had... that is how they measured wealth and success. By burning a portion of it they are ritualistically saying "we trust in divine providence that we will be given what we need."
