< 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 anyone offers an offering of a meal offering to Adonai, his offering shall be of fine flour. He shall pour 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;
He shall bring it to Aaron [Light-bringer]’s sons, the priests; and he shall take his handful of its fine flour, and of its oil, with all its frankincense; and the priest shall burn its memorial on the altar, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Adonai.
3 and the remnant of the present [is] for Aaron and for his sons, most holy, of the fire-offerings of YHWH.
That which is left of the meal offering shall be Aaron [Light-bringer]’s and his sons’. It is a most holy thing of the offerings of Adonai 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.
“‘When you offer an offering of a meal offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed 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;
If your offering is a meal offering of the griddle, it shall be of unleavened fine flour, mixed with oil.
6 divide it into parts, and you have poured oil on it; it [is] a present.
You shall cut it in pieces, and pour oil on it. 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,
If your offering is a meal offering of the 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,
You shall bring the meal offering that is made of these things to Adonai: and it shall be presented to the priest, and he shall bring 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 shall take from the meal offering its memorial, and shall burn it on the altar, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Adonai.
10 and the remnant of the present [is] for Aaron and for his sons, most holy, of the fire-offerings of YHWH.
That which is left of the meal offering shall be Aaron [Light-bringer]’s and his sons’. It is a thing most holy of the offerings of Adonai 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 you shall offer to Adonai, shall be made with yeast; for you shall burn no yeast, nor any honey, as an offering made by fire to Adonai.
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 you shall offer them to Adonai: but they shall not rise up for a pleasant aroma 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.
Every offering of your meal offering you shall season with salt. You must not omit the salt of the covenant of your God with your meal offering. With all your offerings you shall 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,
“‘If you offer a meal offering of first fruits to Adonai, you shall offer for the meal offering of your first fruits grain in the ear parched with fire, bruised grain of the fresh ear.
15 and you have put oil on it, and laid frankincense on it, [for] it [is] a present;
You shall put oil on it, and lay frankincense on it: 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.”
The priest shall burn as its memorial, part of its bruised grain, and part of its oil, along with all its frankincense: it is an offering made by fire to Adonai.
