Leviticus 2

2 ¹ When anyone brings a grain offering to our Father, the offering must be fine flour. Pour oil on it, put frankincense on it, ² and bring it to Aaron's sons, the priests. The priest will take a handful of its fine flour and oil, with all its frankincense, and burn the memorial portion on the altar—a fire offering, a pleasing aroma to our Father. ^a a 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 — most holy, from the fire offerings to our Father.

⁴ When you bring a grain offering baked in an oven: fine flour, either loaves without yeast mixed with oil, or wafers without yeast spread with oil. ⁵ If your offering is a grain offering on a griddle, it must be 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 grain cooked in a pan, make it with fine flour and oil. ⁸ Bring the grain offering made from these to our Father; present it to the priest, who brings it to the altar. ⁹ The priest takes the grain offering's memorial portion and burns it on the altar—a fire offering, a pleasing aroma to our Father. ¹⁰ What remains of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons — most holy, from the fire offerings to our Father.

¹¹ No grain offering you bring to our Father may contain 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 a firstfruits offering, but do not offer them on the altar as a pleasing aroma. ¹³ Salt every grain offering. Don't leave out your Father's covenant salt; add salt to all your offerings. ^b b 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 firstfruits grain offering to our Father, offer new grain roasted in fire, crushed kernels, as your firstfruits offering. ¹⁵ Put oil on it and lay frankincense on it; it is a grain offering. ¹⁶ The priest burns the memorial portion—some of the crushed grain and oil—with all its frankincense, as a fire offering to our Father.
