Leviticus 2
2
Grain Offerings
1When anyone presents a grain offering to the Lord, the offering shall be of choice flour; the worshiper shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it, 2and bring it to Aaron's sons the priests. After taking from it a handful of the choice flour and oil, with all its frankincense, the priest shall turn this token portion into smoke on the altar, an offering by fire of pleasing odor to the Lord. 3And what is left of the grain offering shall be for Aaron and his sons, a most holy part of the offerings by fire to the Lord.
4When you present a grain offering baked in the oven, it shall be of choice flour: unleavened cakes mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers spread with oil. 5If your offering is grain prepared on a griddle, it shall be of choice flour mixed with oil, unleavened; 6break it in pieces, and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering. 7If your offering is grain prepared in a pan, it shall be made of choice flour in oil. 8You shall bring to the Lord the grain offering that is prepared in any of these ways; and when it is presented to the priest, he shall take it to the altar. 9The priest shall remove from the grain offering its token portion and turn this into smoke on the altar, an offering by fire of pleasing odor to the Lord. 10And what is left of the grain offering shall be for Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the offerings by fire to the Lord.
11No grain offering that you bring to the Lord shall be made with leaven, for you must not turn any leaven or honey into smoke as an offering by fire to the Lord. 12You may bring them to the Lord as an offering of choice products, but they shall not be offered on the altar for a pleasing odor. 13You shall not omit from your grain offerings the salt of the covenant with your God; with all your offerings you shall offer salt.
14If you bring a grain offering of first fruits to the Lord, you shall bring as the grain offering of your first fruits coarse new grain from fresh ears, parched with fire. 15You shall add oil to it and lay frankincense on it; it is a grain offering. 16And the priest shall turn a token portion of it into smoke—some of the coarse grain and oil with all its frankincense; it is an offering by fire to the Lord.

The Grain Offering
1“When anyone presents a grain offering#Ex 40:29 as an offering to the Lord, it is to consist of fine flour.#Gn 18:6; Ex 29:2,40; Lv 2:1–7 He is to pour olive oil#Gn 28:18; 35:14 on it, put frankincense on it,#Ex 30:34 2and bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests. The priest will take a handful of fine flour and oil from it, along with all its frankincense, and will burn this memorial portion#Lv 2:9,16; 5:12; 6:8; 24:7; Nm 5:26; Ac 10:4 of it on the altar, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 3But the rest of the grain offering will belong to Aaron and his sons; it is the holiest part#Lv 14:13 of the food offerings to the Lord.
4“When you present a grain offering baked in an oven, it is to be made of fine flour, either unleavened cakes#Ex 29:2 mixed with oil or unleavened wafers#Ex 29:2,23; Lv 7:12; 8:26; Nm 6:15,19; 1Ch 23:29 coated with oil. 5If your offering is a grain offering prepared on a griddle,#Lv 6:14; 7:9; 1Ch 23:29; Ezk 4:3 it is to be unleavened bread#Ex 12:8; Mt 16:6,11–12; 1Co 5:6–8 made of fine flour mixed with oil. 6Break it into pieces and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering. 7If your offering is a grain offering prepared in a pan,#Lv 7:9 it is to be made of fine flour with oil. 8When you bring to the Lord the grain offering made in any of these ways, it is to be presented to the priest, and he will take it to the altar. 9The priest will remove the memorial portion#2:9 Lit portion of it from the grain offering and burn it on the altar, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 10But the rest of the grain offering will belong to Aaron and his sons;#Lv 7:9–10 it is the holiest part of the food offerings to the Lord.
11“No grain offering that you present to the Lord is to be made with yeast, for you are not to burn#2:11 Some Hb mss, Sam, LXX, Tg read present any yeast#Ex 12:14 or honey#Jdg 14:8 as a food offering to the Lord. 12You may present them to the Lord as an offering of firstfruits,#Gn 49:3; Ex 23:16,19 but they are not to be offered on the altar as a pleasing aroma. 13You are to season each of your grain offerings with salt; you must not omit from your grain offering the salt of the covenant#Ex 19:5; Nm 18:19; 2Ch 13:5 with your God. You are to present salt with each of your offerings.
14“If you present a grain offering of firstfruits to the Lord, you are to present fresh heads of grain, crushed kernels, roasted on the fire, for your grain offering of firstfruits. 15You are to put oil and frankincense on it; it is a grain offering. 16The priest will then burn some of its crushed kernels and oil with all its frankincense as a food offering to the Lord.
