Laws for Grain Offerings

2 “ ‘When a persona brings a grain offering to Yahweh, his offering must be finely milled flour, and he must pour out oil on it and place frankincense on it. 2 And he shall bring it to the sons of Aaron, the priests, and heb shall take ⌊his handful from its finely milled flour⌋c and from its oil in addition to all its frankincense. The priestd shall turn its token portion into smoke on the altar as an offering made by fire, as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh. 3 The remaindere of the grain offering ⌊belongs to⌋f Aaron and to his sons—⌊it is a most holy thing⌋g from the offerings made by fire forh Yahweh.

4 “ ‘But if you bring a grain offering of something oven-baked, it must be of finely milled flour as ring-shaped unleavened bread mixed with oil or wafers of unleavened bread smeared with oil. 5 If your offering is a grain offering baked on ai flat baking pan, it must be finely milled flour, unleavened bread mixed with oil; 6 break it into pieces and pour out oil on it; it is a grain offering.

7 “ ‘Ifj your offering is a grain offering prepared in a cooking pan, it must be with finely milled flour in oil. 8 And you shall bring the grain offering that is made from these things to Yahweh, and the offererk shall bring it to the priest, and he shall bring it to the altar. 9 And the priest shall take away from the grain offering its token portion, and he shall turn it into smoke on the altar as an offering made by fire, as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh. 10 And the remainder of the grain offering ⌊belongs to⌋l Aaron and to his sons—⌊it is a most holy thing⌋m from the offerings made by fire forn Yahweh.

11 “ ‘Every grain offering youo bring to Yahweh must not be made of yeasted food, because you must not turn into smoke any yeast or any honey fromp an offering made by fire for Yahweh. 12 As an offering of the choicest portion, youq may bring them to Yahweh, but they must not be offered on the altar as an appeasing fragrance. 13 Also allr of your grain offerings you must season with salt; yous must not omit the salt of your God’s covenant from your offering. With all your offerings you shall present salt.

14 “ ‘And if you bring to Yahweh a grain offering of firstfruits, you must bring an ear of new grain roasted by fire, coarsely crushed ripe grain, as the grain offering of your firstfruits. 15 And you shall put oil on it and place frankincense on it; it is a grain offering. 16 Thet priest shall turn into smoke its token portion from its coarsely crushed grain and from its oil together with all of its frankincense—it is an offering made by fire for Yahweh.’ ”
