< 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 when any will offer a meat-offering to the LORD, his offering shall be [of] fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense upon it.
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 Aaron's sons the priests: and he shall take out of it his handful of its flour, and of its oil, with all its frankincense; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, [to be] an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor 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 remnant of the meat-offering [shall be] Aaron's and his sons': [it is] a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
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 thou shalt bring an oblation of a meat-offering baked in the oven, [it shall be] unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers 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 oblation [shall be] a meat-offering [baked] in a pan, it shall be [of] fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.
6 Break it up and pour olive oil over it; it is a grain offering.
Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil upon it: it [is] a meat-offering.
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 oblation [shall be] a meat-offering [baked] in the frying-pan, 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 thou shalt bring the meat-offering that is made of these things to the LORD: and when it is presented to the priest, he shall bring it to the altar.
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 take from the meat-offering a memorial of it, and shall burn [it] upon the altar: [it is] an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor 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 meat-offering [shall be] Aaron's and his sons': [it is] a thing most holy, of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
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.
No meat-offering which ye shall bring to the LORD shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the LORD made by fire.
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.
As for the oblation of the first-fruits, ye shall offer them to the LORD: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savor.
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 oblation of thy meat-offering shalt thou season with salt: neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat-offering: with all thy offerings thou shalt offer salt.
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 shalt offer a meat-offering of thy first-fruits to the LORD, thou shalt offer for the meat-offering of thy first-fruits, green ears of corn dried by the fire, [even] corn beaten out of full ears.
15 Put olive oil and frankincense on it; it is a grain offering.
And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense upon it: [it is] a meat-offering.
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 burn the memorial of it, [part] of its beaten corn, and [part] of its oil, with all its frankincense: [it is] an offering made by fire to the LORD.
