< 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;
And when any one bringeth a meal-offering unto the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon.
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 he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests; and he shall take thereout his handful of the fine flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, together with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall make the memorial-part thereof smoke upon the altar, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
3 and the remnant of the present [is] for Aaron and for his sons, most holy, of the fire-offerings of YHWH.
But that which is left of the meal-offering shall be Aaron's and his sons'; it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
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.
And when thou bringest a meal-offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers spread with oil.
5 And if your offering [is] a present [made] on the griddle, it is of flour, mixed with oil, unleavened;
And if thy offering be a meal-offering baked on a griddle, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.
6 divide it into parts, and you have poured oil on it; it [is] a present.
Thou shalt break it in pieces, and pour oil thereon; it is a meal-offering.
7 And if your offering [is] a present [made] on the frying-pan, it is made of flour with oil,
And if thy offering be a meal-offering of the stewing-pan, it shall be made of fine flour with 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,
And thou shalt bring the meal-offering that is made of these things unto the LORD; and it shall be presented unto the priest, and he shall bring it unto 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;
And the priest shall take off from the meal-offering the memorial-part thereof, and shall make it smoke upon the altar — an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
10 and the remnant of the present [is] for Aaron and for his sons, most holy, of the fire-offerings of YHWH.
But that which is left of the meal-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 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 meal-offering, which ye shall bring unto the LORD, shall be made with leaven; for ye shall make no leaven, nor any honey, smoke as an offering made by fire unto 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.
As an offering of first-fruits ye may bring them unto the LORD; but they shall not come up for a sweet savour on the altar.
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.
And every meal-offering of thine shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meal-offering; with all thy offerings thou shalt offer salt.
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,
And if thou bring a meal-offering of first-fruits unto the LORD, thou shalt bring for the meal-offering of thy first-fruits corn in the ear parched with fire, even groats of the fresh ear.
15 and you have put oil on it, and laid frankincense on it, [for] it [is] a present;
And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon; it is a meal-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.”
And the priest shall make the memorial-part of it smoke, even of the groats thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
