Leviticus 2

The Grain Offering

“ ‘When anyone brings a grain offering^a to the Lord, your offering is to be of the finest flour.^b You are to pour olive oil^c on it,^d put incense on it^e and take it to Aaron’s sons the priests. The priest shall take a handful of the flour^f and oil, together with all the incense,^g and burn this as a memorial portion^h on the altar, a food offering,ⁱ an aroma pleasing to the Lord.^j The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons;^k it is a most holy^l part of the food offering presented to the Lord.

“ ‘If you bring a grain offering baked in an oven,^m it is to consist of the finest flour: either thick loaves made without yeast and with olive oil mixed in or thin loavesⁿ made without yeast and brushed with olive oil.^o If your grain offering is prepared on a griddle,^p it is to be made of the finest flour mixed with oil, and without yeast. Crumble it and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering. If your grain offering is cooked in a pan,^q it is to be made of the finest flour and some olive oil. Bring the grain offering made of these things to the Lord; present it to the priest, who shall take it to the altar. He shall take out the memorial portion^r from the grain offering and burn it on the altar as a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.^s The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons;^t it is a most holy part of the food offerings presented to the Lord.^u

“ ‘Every grain offering you bring to the Lord must be made without yeast,^v for you are not to burn any yeast or honey in a food offering presented to the Lord. You may bring them to the Lord as an offering of the firstfruits,^w but they are not to be offered on the altar as a pleasing aroma. Season all your grain offerings with salt.^x Do not leave the salt of the covenant^y of your God out of your grain offerings; add salt to all your offerings.

“ ‘If you bring a grain offering of firstfruits^z to the Lord, offer crushed heads of new grain roasted in the fire. Put oil and incense^a on it; it is a grain offering. The priest shall burn the memorial portion^b of the crushed grain and the oil, together with all the incense,^c as a food offering presented to the Lord.^d
