Leviticus 2
2
Chapter 2
Moses tells Israel's people what to do with gifts that are grain
1A person may want to give grain as a gift to the Lord. He must make it into flour. He must put oil and incense on the flour. 2He must take it to Aaron's sons, the priests. The priest will take some of the flour and oil and all the incense in his hand. He will burn them on the altar as a gift to the Lord. The smell of them while they are burning will give the Lord pleasure. 3The flour that he did not burn is for the priests. It is very holy. That is because it is part of an offering to the Lord.
4A person must not use yeast if he bakes his gift of grain. He must make cakes or biscuits with flour and oil. 5He must not use yeast if he cooks his cake on a flat plate. He must make it with flour and oil. 6He must break the cake into pieces. He must pour oil on it. It is a gift to God. 7A person must use flour and oil to cook the cake in a pot. 8He must give the cake to the priest. The priest will take it to the altar. 9He will take a piece of it and he will burn it in the fire. It is a gift to the Lord. The smell of it while it is burning will give the Lord pleasure. 10The part of the cake that he did not burn is for the priests. That is because it is most holy, part of a burnt offering to the Lord.
11A person must not use yeast when he gives a gift of grain to the Lord. He must not give yeast or honey for the priests to burn as gifts to the Lord. 12He can give them as the first part of his harvest. He must not burn them on the fire. He cannot use them to give the Lord pleasure. 13A person must put salt in all his gifts of grain. Salt is a mark of God's promise to Israel's people. #2:13 People in the east ‘ate salt’ together when they were friends. They poured a little salt onto bread when they ate together. Salt made this offering a friendship offering.
14A person may want to give the first part of his harvest to the Lord. He must break the grains into pieces and he must cook them in a fire. 15They are a gift, so he must put oil and incense on them. 16The priest will burn a part of the grain with all the incense. It is a burnt offering to the Lord.
