< Leviticus 2 >
1 But, when any person would bring near as an oblation, a meal-offering, unto Yahweh, of fine meal, shall be his oblation, —and he shall pour out thereon oil, and place thereon, frankincense;
And when anyone makes a meal offering to the Lord, let his offering be of the best meal, with oil on it and perfume:
2 so shall he bring it in unto the sons of Aaron, the priests, and he shall grasp therefrom a handful of the fine meal thereof and of the oil thereof, besides all the frankincense thereof, —and the priest shall make a perfume with the memorial thereof at the altar, an altar-flame of a satisfying odour unto Yahweh.
And let him take it to Aaron's sons, the priests; and having taken in his hand some of the meal and of the oil, with all the perfume, let him give it to the priest to be burned on the altar, as a sign, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord.
3 But, the remainder of the meal-offering, pertaineth unto Aaron and unto his sons, —most holy, from among the altar-flames of Yahweh.
And the rest of the meal offering will be for Aaron and his sons; it is most holy among the Lord's fire offerings.
4 Moreover, when thou wouldst bring near as an oblation of a meal-offering, something baked in an oven, round unleavened cakes of fine meal, overflowed with oil, [shall it be], or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.
And when you give a meal offering cooked in the oven, let it be of unleavened cakes of the best meal mixed with oil, or thin unleavened cakes covered with oil.
5 But, if, a meal-offering, on a girdle, be thine oblation, of fine meal, overflowed with oil unleavened, shall it be;
And if you give a meal offering cooked on a flat plate, let it be of the best meal, unleavened and mixed with oil.
6 parting it into pieces, then shalt thou pour thereon oil, —a meal-offering, it is,
Let it be broken into bits, and put oil on it; it is a meal offering.
7 But, if a meal-offering of the boiler, be thine oblation, of fine meal with oil, shall it be made.
And if your offering is of meal cooked in fat over the fire, let it be made of the best meal mixed with oil.
8 Then shalt thou bring in the meal-offering that is made of these, unto Yahweh, —and one shall bring it near unto the priest, and he shall take it near unto the altar.
And you are to give the meal offering made of these things to the Lord, and let the priest take it to the altar.
9 Then shall the priest uplift out of the meal-offering, a memorial thereof, and make a perfume at the altar, —an altar-flame of a satisfying odour unto Yahweh.
And he is to take from the meal offering a part, for a sign, burning it on the altar; an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.
10 But the remainder of the meal-offering pertaineth to Aaron and to his sons, —most holy from among the altar-flames of Yahweh.
And the rest of the meal offering will be for Aaron and his sons; it is most holy among the Lord's fire offerings.
11 None of the meal-offerings which ye bring near unto Yahweh shall be made into anything leavened, —for, of no leaven and Of no syrup, may ye make a perfume, as an altar-flame unto Yahweh.
No meal offering which you give to the Lord is to be made with leaven; no leaven or honey is to be burned as an offering made by fire to the Lord.
12 As for an oblation of first-fruits, ye shall bring them near unto Yahweh, —but unto the altar, they shall not take them up, as a satisfying odour.
You may give them as an offering of first-fruits to the Lord, but they are not to go up as a sweet smell on the altar.
13 And, every meal-offering oblation of thine, with salt, shalt thou season, and thou shalt not suffer to be lacking the salt of the covenant of thy God, from upon thy meal-offering, —upon every oblation of thine, shalt thou offer salt.
And every meal offering is to be salted with salt; your meal offering is not to be without the salt of the agreement of your God: with all your offerings give salt.
14 But, if thou wouldst bring near a meal-offering of first-ripe corn, unto Yahweh, of green ears roasted in fire crushed grain of garden-land, shalt thou bring near thy meal-offering of first-ripe corn.
And if you give a meal offering of first-fruits to the Lord, give, as your offering of first-fruits, new grain, made dry with fire, crushed new grain.
15 And thou shalt place thereon, oil and shalt put thereon, frankincense, —a meal-offering, it is.
And put oil on it and perfume: it is a meal offering.
16 Then shall the priest make a perfume, with the memorial thereof, —from the crushed grain thereof and from the oil thereof, besides all the frankincense thereof, —an altar-flame, unto Yahweh.
And part of the meal of the offering and part of the oil and all the perfume is to be burned for a sign by the priest: it is an offering made by fire to the Lord.
