Leviticus 02
1 “ ‘When anyone offers an offering of a
meal offering to Yahweh, his offering shall
be of fine flour. He shall pour oil on it, and
put frankincense on it.
2 He shall bring it to Aaron’s sons, the
priests. He shall take his handful of its fine
flour, and of its oil, with all its frankincense, and the priest shall burn its memorial on the altar, an offering made by fire,
of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
3 That which is left of the meal offering
shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. It is a most
holy part of the offerings of Yahweh made
by fire.
4 “ ‘When you offer an offering of a meal
offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil,
or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.
5 If your offering is a meal offering made
on a griddle, it shall be of unleavened fine
flour, mixed with oil.
6Youshall cutitinpieces, and pour oil on
it. It is a meal offering.
7 If your offering is a meal offering of the
pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.
8 You shall bring the meal offering that is
made of these things to Yahweh. It shall bepresented to the priest, and he shall bring
it to the altar.
9 The priest shall take from the meal
offering its memorial, and shall burn it on
the altar, an offering made by fire, of a
pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
10 That which is left of the meal offering
shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. It is a most
holy part of the offerings of Yahweh made
by fire.
11 “ ‘No meal offering which you shall
offer to Yahweh shall be made with yeast;
for you shall burn no yeast, nor any honey,
as an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
12 As an offering of first fruits you shall
offer them to Yahweh, but they shall not
rise up as a pleasant aroma on the altar.
13 Every offering of your meal offering
you shall season with salt. You shall not allow the salt of the covenant of your God† to
be lacking from your meal offering. With
all your offerings you shall offer salt.
14 “ ‘If you offer a meal offering of first
fruits to Yahweh, you shall offer for the
meal offering of your first fruits fresh
heads of grain parched with fire and
crushed.
15 You shall put oil on it and lay frankincense on it. It is a meal offering.
16 The priest shall burn as its memorial
part of its crushed grain and part of its oil,
along with all its frankincense. It is an
offering made by fire to Yahweh.
