Leviticus 2

2 ¹ When anyone brings a grain offering to our Father, their offering must be of fine flour. They must pour oil on it and put frankincense on it,

A Pleasing Aroma to Our Father

² and bring it to Aaron's sons the priests. The priest must take from it a handful of the fine flour and oil, with all its frankincense, and burn this as a memorial portion on the altar, a fire offering, a pleasing aroma to our Father. ¹ 1 v2 The memorial portion was the handful the priest burned on the altar, standing for the whole offering as it rose to our Father. ³ The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the fire offerings to our Father.

⁴ When you bring a grain offering baked in an oven, it must be of fine flour: either loaves without yeast mixed with oil, or wafers without yeast spread with oil. ⁵ If your offering is a grain offering prepared on a griddle, it must be of fine flour mixed with oil, without yeast. ⁶ Break it into pieces and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering. ⁷ If your offering is a grain offering cooked in a pan, it must be made of fine flour with oil. ⁸ Bring the grain offering made of these things to our Father; present it to the priest, who will take it to the altar. ⁹ The priest must take from the grain offering its memorial portion and burn it on the altar, a fire offering, a pleasing aroma to our Father. ¹⁰ The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the fire offerings to our Father.

¹¹ No grain offering that you bring to our Father may be made with yeast, for you must not burn any yeast or honey as a fire offering to our Father. ¹² You may bring them to our Father as an offering of firstfruits, but do not offer them on the altar as a pleasing aroma. ¹³ Season all your grain offerings with salt. Do not leave the salt of your Father's covenant out of your grain offering; add salt to all your offerings. ² 2 v13 Salt preserved food and never spoiled, so a "covenant of salt" pictured a bond with our Father that endures and cannot be broken.

¹⁴ If you bring a grain offering of firstfruits to our Father, offer crushed heads of new grain roasted in the fire as your firstfruits offering. ¹⁵ Put oil on it and lay frankincense on it; it is a grain offering. ¹⁶ The priest must burn the memorial portion of the crushed grain and the oil, with all its frankincense, as a fire offering to our Father.
