< 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 will offer a grain offering unto Yhwh, 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 flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Yhwh:
3 and the remnant of the present [is] for Aaron and for his sons, most holy, of the fire-offerings of YHWH.
And the remnant of the grain offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of Yhwh 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 if thou bring an oblation of a grain offering baken in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed 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 oblation be a grain offering baken in a pan, 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 part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: 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,
And if thy oblation be a grain offering baken in the fryingpan, 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 grain offering that is made of these things unto Yhwh: and when it is presented unto the priest, 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 from the grain offering a memorial thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Yhwh.
10 and the remnant of the present [is] for Aaron and for his sons, most holy, of the fire-offerings of YHWH.
And that which is left of the grain offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of Yhwh 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 grain offering, which ye shall bring unto Yhwh, shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of Yhwh made by fire.
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 for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto Yhwh: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour.
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 oblation of thy grain offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy grain offering: with all thine 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 offer a grain offering of thy firstfruits unto Yhwh, thou shalt offer for the grain offering of thy firstfruits green heads of grain dried by the fire, even barley beaten out of full heads.
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 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.”
And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the beaten grain thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto Yhwh.
