Leviticus 2

₁The Lord said to Moses: ‘When someone wants to give Me a grain-offering, he must give Me some of the best flour. He must pour olive oil over the flour and put incense on top of it. ₂Then he must take it to the priests, the descendants of Aaron. The priest must take a handful of flour with some of the olive oil and all the incense and he must burn it on the altar as an offering to the Lord. This is a fire-offering that pleases the Lord. ₃The part of the grain-offering that is left over belongs to Aaron and his sons. This is the most_holy part of the fire-offerings for Me.

₄If someone wants to give a grain-offering that he has baked in an oven, he must use the best flour. It must be a round flat bread that he has mixed with olive oil or wafers with no yeast in it and some olive oil on it.

₅When you want to give a grain-offering that you have baked on a flat pan, you must use the best flour that you have mixed with olive oil, with no yeast in it. ₆You must break the bread and pour olive oil over it. This is a grain-offering.

₇When you want to give a grain-offering that you have baked in a baking pan, you must use the best flour and mix it with olive oil. ₈You must sacrifice the grain-offering that you have baked for the Lord. You must give it to the priest and he must sacrifice it on the altar. ₉The priest must take the part of the grain-offering that God must get and he must burn it on the altar. This is a burnt-offering that pleases the Lord. ₁₀The part of the grain-offering that is left over belongs to Aaron and his sons. This is the most_holy part of the fire-offerings for the Lord.

₁₁Do not put yeast or honey into a grain-offering that you give to Me, because you may not burn yeast or honey in a fire-offering for the Lord. ₁₂You may give yeast and honey to the Lord when it is a sacrifice of the first part of your harvest. But you may not burn it on the altar. It will not please the Lord. ₁₃You must put salt in all your grain-offerings. Do not forget to do it, because salt is the sign of the covenant that you have with your God.

₁₄When you give a grain-offering to the Lord from the grain that you have first harvested, it must be fresh grain that you have roasted or broken into small pieces. This is a grain-offering from the first wheat that you have harvested. ₁₅You must mix in some olive oil and put incense on it because this is a grain-offering. ₁₆The priest must burn the part of the fresh grain and olive oil with all the incense. This is the part which God must get. It is a fire-offering for the Lord.’
