Leviticus 2:1–16

The Grain Offering

2‘When anyone offers ^aa grain offering to the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour. And he shall pour oil on it, and put ^bfrankincense on it. ²He shall bring it to Aaron’s sons, the priests, one of whom shall take from it his handful of fine flour and oil with all the frankincense. And the priest shall burn ^cit as a memorial on the altar, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord. ^3dThe rest of the grain offering shall be Aaron’s and his ^esons’. ^fIt is most holy of the offerings to the Lord made by fire.

⁴‘And if you bring as an offering a grain offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers ^ganointed ¹with oil. ⁵But if your offering is a grain offering baked in a ²pan, it shall be of fine flour, unleavened, mixed with oil. ⁶You shall break it in pieces and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering.

⁷‘If your offering is a grain offering baked in a ^hcovered pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. ⁸You shall bring the grain offering that is made of these things to the Lord. And when it is presented to the priest, he shall bring it to the altar. ⁹Then the priest shall take from the grain offering ⁱa memorial portion, and burn it on the altar. It is an ^joffering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord. ¹⁰And ^kwhat is left of the grain offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. It is most holy of the offerings to the Lord made by fire.

¹¹‘No grain offering which you bring to the Lord shall be made with ^lleaven, for you shall burn no leaven nor any honey in any offering to the Lord made by fire. ^12mAs for the offering of the firstfruits, you shall offer them to the Lord, but they shall not be burned on the altar for a sweet aroma. ¹³And every offering of your grain offering ⁿyou shall season with salt; you shall not allow ^othe salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your grain offering. ^pWith all your offerings you shall offer salt.

¹⁴‘If you offer a grain offering of your firstfruits to the Lord, ^qyou shall offer for the grain offering of your firstfruits green heads of grain roasted on the fire, grain beaten from ^rfull heads. ¹⁵And ^syou shall put oil on it, and lay frankincense on it. It is a grain offering. ¹⁶Then the priest shall burn ^tthe memorial portion: part of its beaten grain and part of its oil, with all the frankincense, as an offering made by fire to the Lord.
