  2. 22 A few Hebrew , , , and . have the verb “present” rather than “offer up in smoke,” but the is clearly correct. One could indeed present leavened and honey sweetened offerings as first fruit offerings, which were not burned on the altar (see v. 12 and the there), but they could not be offered up in fire on the altar. Cf. the ’s ambiguous “you must never use yeast or honey in food offered to the Lord.” Heb “for all leaven and all honey you must not offer up in smoke from it a gift to the Lord.”
