Leviticus 2

1 “And when a person brings an offering near, a present to YHWH, [and] his offering is of flour, then he has poured oil on it, and has put frankincense on it;

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,

2 and he has brought it to the sons of Aaron, the priests, and one [of the priests] has taken from there the fullness of his hand of its flour and of its oil, besides all its frankincense, and the priest has made incense with its memorial on the altar, a fire-offering of refreshing fragrance to YHWH;

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.

3 and the remnant of the present [is] for Aaron and for his sons, most holy, of the fire-offerings of YHWH.

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.

4 And when you bring an offering near, a present baked in an oven, [it is of] unleavened cakes of flour mixed with oil, or thin unleavened cakes anointed with oil.

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.

5 And if your offering [is] a present [made] on the griddle, it is of flour, mixed with oil, unleavened;

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.

6 divide it into parts, and you have poured oil on it; it [is] a present.

Break it up and pour olive oil over it; it is a grain offering.

7 And if your offering [is] a present [made] on the frying-pan, it is made of flour with oil,

If your offering is a grain offering cooked in a pan, it must be made of fine flour with olive oil.

8 and you have brought in the present which is made of these to YHWH, and [one] has brought it near to the priest, and he has brought it near to the altar,

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.

9 and the priest has lifted up from the present its memorial, and has made incense on the altar, a fire-offering of refreshing fragrance to YHWH;

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.

10 and the remnant of the present [is] for Aaron and for his sons, most holy, of the fire-offerings of YHWH.

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.

11 No present which you bring near to YHWH is made fermented, for you do not make incense [as] a fire-offering to YHWH with any leaven or any honey.

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.

12 An offering of first-[fruits]—you bring them near to YHWH, but they do not go up on the altar for refreshing fragrance.

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.

13 And every offering—your present—you season with salt, and you do not let the salt of the covenant of your God cease from your present; you bring salt near with all your offerings.

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.

14 And if you bring a present of first-fruits near to YHWH, you bring the present of your first-fruits near of green ears, roasted with fire, beaten out [grain] of a fruitful field,

When you bring a grain offering of firstfruits to the Lord, offer crushed heads of new grain roasted on the fire.

15 and you have put oil on it, and laid frankincense on it, [for] it [is] a present;

Put olive oil and frankincense on it; it is a grain offering.

16 and the priest has made incense with its memorial from its beaten out [grain], and from its oil, besides all its frankincense, [as] a fire-offering to YHWH.”

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.”
