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;

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 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 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 But, the remainder of the meal-offering, pertaineth unto Aaron and unto his sons, —most holy, from among the altar-flames of Yahweh.

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 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.

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 But, if, a meal-offering, on a girdle, be thine oblation, of fine meal, overflowed with oil unleavened, shall it be;

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 parting it into pieces, then shalt thou pour thereon oil, —a meal-offering, it is,

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

7 But, if a meal-offering of the boiler, be thine oblation, of fine meal with oil, shall it be made.

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

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 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.

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 But the remainder of the meal-offering pertaineth to Aaron and to his sons, —most holy from among the altar-flames of Yahweh.

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 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 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 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 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 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.

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 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.

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

15 And thou shalt place thereon, oil and shalt put thereon, frankincense, —a meal-offering, it is.

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

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.”
