< Leviticus 2 >

1 When you bring a grain offering to the Lord, your offering be of the best flour. Pour olive oil on it and put frankincense on it,
And if a soul bring a gift, a sacrifice to the Lord, his gift shall be fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and shall put frankincense on it: it is a sacrifice.
2 and take it to Aaron's sons the priests. The priest shall take a handful of the flour and olive oil mixture, as well as all the frankincense, and burn this as a ‘reminder part’ on the altar, a food offering, to be accepted by the Lord.
And he shall bring it to the priests the sons of Aaron: and having taken from it a handful of the fine flour with the oil, and all its frankincense, then the priest shall put the memorial of it on the altar: [it is] a sacrifice, an odour of sweet savour to the Lord.
3 The rest of the grain offering is for Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the offerings given to the Lord as food offerings.
And the remainder of the sacrifice shall be for Aaron and his sons, a most holy portion from the sacrifices of the Lord.
4 If your offering is of grain baked in an oven, it must be made from fine flour without using yeast. It can be cakes mixed with olive oil or wafers with olive oil spread on them.
And if he bring as a gift a sacrifice baked from the oven, a gift to the Lord of fine flour, [he shall bring] unleavened bread kneaded with oil, and unleavened cakes anointed with oil.
5 If your offering is a grain offering cooked on a griddle, it must be made of fine flour mixed with olive oil without using yeast.
And if thy gift [be] a sacrifice from a pan, it is fine flour mingled with oil, unleavened [offerings].
6 Break it up and pour olive oil over it; it is a grain offering.
And thou shalt break them into fragments and pour oil upon them: it is a sacrifice to the Lord.
7 If your offering is a grain offering cooked in a pan, it must be made of fine flour with olive oil.
And if thy gift be a sacrifice from the hearth, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.
8 Bring to the Lord the grain offering made in whichever of these ways. Present it to the priest, and who will take it to the altar.
And he shall offer the sacrifice which he shall make of these to the Lord, and shall bring it to the priest.
9 The priest is to take the ‘reminder part’ from the grain offering and burn it on the altar as a food offering, to be accepted by the Lord.
And the priest shall approach the altar, and shall take away from the sacrifice a memorial of it, and the priest shall place it on the altar: a burnt offering, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.
10 The rest of the grain offering is for Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the food offerings given to the Lord.
And that which is left of the sacrifice [shall be] for Aaron and his sons, most holy from the burnt-offerings of the Lord.
11 No grain offering that you give to the Lord may be made using yeast. Don't burn any yeast or honey as a food offering to the Lord.
Ye shall not leaven any sacrifice which ye shall bring to the Lord; for [as to] any leaven, or any honey, ye shall not bring of it to offer a gift to the Lord.
12 You may give them to the Lord when you present your offerings of firstfruits, but they are not to be offered on the altar to be to be accepted by the Lord.
Ye shall bring them in the way of fruits to the Lord, but they shall not be offered on the altar for a sweet-smelling savour to the Lord.
13 All of your grain offerings are to be seasoned with salt. Don't leave the salt of God's agreement out of your grain offering. Add salt to all of your offerings.
And every gift of your sacrifice shall be seasoned with salt; omit not the salt of the covenant of the Lord from your sacrifices: on every gift of yours ye shall offer salt to the Lord your God.
14 When you bring a grain offering of firstfruits to the Lord, offer crushed heads of new grain roasted on the fire.
And if thou wouldest offer a sacrifice of first-fruits to the Lord, [it shall be] new grains ground [and] roasted for the Lord; so shalt thou bring the sacrifice of the first-fruits.
15 Put olive oil and frankincense on it; it is a grain offering.
And thou shalt pour oil upon it, and shalt put frankincense on it: it is a sacrifice.
16 The priest will burn the ‘reminder part’ of the crushed grain and olive oil, as well as all its frankincense, as a food offering to the Lord.”
And the priest shall offer the memorial of it [taken] from the grains with the oil, and all its frankincense: it is a burnt-offering to the Lord.
