Leviticus 2

1 ‘If you bring to Yahweh an offering of grain, it must consist of finely-ground flour. You must pour olive oil on it, and put some incense on it,

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;

2 and take it to one of the priests. The priest will take a handful of the flour and the oil with the incense and burn it on the altar. That part will symbolize [that all of the offering truly belongs to Yahweh]. And the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.

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.

3 The part of that offering that is not burned will belong to Aaron and his sons. It is a very holy part of the offerings that are given to Yahweh by [burning them] in a fire.

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

4 ‘If you bring an offering that is made from grain, something that is baked in an oven, it must be made from finely-ground flour. You may bring loaves made from flour mixed with olive oil but without yeast, or you may bring wafers with olive oil smeared on them, but also made without yeast.

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.

5 If your offering is cooked (on a griddle/in a shallow pan), it must be made from finely-ground flour mixed with olive oil and without yeast.

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

6 You must crumble it and pour olive oil on it. That will be your offering made from grain.

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

7 If your offering that is made from grain is cooked in a pan, it must be made of finely-ground flour mixed with olive oil.

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

8 Bring to Yahweh your grain offering. Give it to the priest, and he will take it to the altar.

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.

9 He will take a part of it that will symbolize that all the offering belongs to Yahweh. He will burn that part on the altar, and the aroma as it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh.

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.

10 The part that is not burned will belong to Aaron and his sons. It is a very holy part of the offerings given to Yahweh by [burning them] in a fire.

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

11 ‘Every offering that is made from grain and that you bring to Yahweh must be made without yeast, because you must not put any yeast or honey in any offering to Yahweh that is burned [on the altar].

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.

12 You may bring to Yahweh an offering of the first part of your harvest, but that is not to be burned on the altar to produce an aroma that will be pleasing to Yahweh.

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.

13 Put salt on all your offerings that are made from grain. The salt represents the agreement that your God [made with] you, so be sure that you do not forget to put salt on those offerings.

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.

14 ‘If you bring to Yahweh an offering of the first part of your harvest of grain, offer some new grain that has been crushed and roasted in a fire.

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.

15 Put olive oil and incense on it, and that will be your offering made from grain.

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

16 The priest will take a part of the flour and oil along with the incense. [That will symbolize that all the offering truly belongs to Yahweh]. He will burn that part on the altar, to be an offering given to Yahweh by [burning it] in a fire.’”

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.
