2ND CHAPTER

Uncooked Grain Offerings

⸤The Lord continued,⸥ “Now, if any of you bring a grain offering to the Lord, your offering must be flour. Pour olive oil on it, and put incense on it. Then bring it to Aaron’s sons, the priests. Take from this a handful of flour with olive oil, and all the incense. The priest will burn it on the altar as a reminder. It is an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the Lord. The rest of the grain offering will belong to Aaron and his sons. It is very holy, set apart from the Lord’s offering by fire. 

Cooked Grain Offerings

“If you bring a grain offering which has been baked in an oven, it must be rings of unleavened bread made of flour mixed with olive oil or wafers of unleavened bread brushed with olive oil. If your grain offering is prepared in a frying pan, it, too, will be unleavened bread made of flour mixed with olive oil. Break it into pieces and pour olive oil over it. It is a grain offering. If your grain offering is prepared in a skillet, it will be made of flour with olive oil. 

“Bring the Lord the grain offering prepared in any of these ways. Offer it to the priest who will bring it to the altar. The priest will remove part of the grain offering and burn it as a reminder on the altar. It is an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the Lord. 10 The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons. It is very holy, set apart from the Lord’s offering by fire. 

Other Ingredients

11 “Every grain offering that you bring to the Lord must be prepared without yeast. Never burn yeast or honey as an offering to the Lord. 12 You may bring them to the Lord as offerings of your first products. But they must never be placed on the altar to make a soothing aroma. 13 Also put salt on each of your grain offerings. The salt of God’s promisea must never be left out of your grain offerings. Put salt on all your offerings. 

Offering the First Grain Harvested

14 “If you bring a grain offering to the Lord from the first grain you harvest, roast the cracked grain over fire. 15 Put olive oil on it, and place incense on it. It is a grain offering. 16 The priest will burn the flour, olive oil, and all the incense as a reminder. It is an offering by fire to the Lord.”
