Chapter 2

The Grain Offering

1“‘When someone brings a grain offering to the LORD, his offering is to be of fine flour. He is to pour oil on it, put incense on it2and take it to Aaron’s sons the priests. The priest shall take a handful of the fine flour and oil, together with all the incense, and burn this as a memorial portion on the altar, an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the LORD.3The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the offerings made to the LORD by fire.

4“‘If you bring a grain offering baked in an oven, it is to consist of fine flour: cakes made without yeast and mixed with oil, orOr and wafers made without yeast and spread with oil.5If your grain offering is prepared on a griddle, it is to be made of fine flour mixed with oil, and without yeast.6Crumble it and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering.7If your grain offering is cooked in a pan, it is to be made of fine flour and oil.8Bring the grain offering made of these things to the LORD; present it to the priest, who shall take it to the altar.9He shall take out the memorial portion from the grain offering and burn it on the altar as an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the LORD.10The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the offerings made to the LORD by fire.

11“‘Every grain offering you bring to the LORD must be made without yeast, for you are not to burn any yeast or honey in an offering made to the LORD by fire.12You may bring them to the LORD as an offering of the firstfruits, but they are not to be offered on the altar as a pleasing aroma.13Season all your grain offerings with salt. Do not leave the salt of the covenant of your God out of your grain offerings; add salt to all your offerings.

14“‘If you bring a grain offering of firstfruits to the LORD, offer crushed heads of new grain roasted in the fire.15Put oil and incense on it; it is a grain offering.16The priest shall burn the memorial portion of the crushed grain and the oil, together with all the incense, as an offering made to the LORD by fire.
