The Grain Offering
1When anyone brings a grain offering to Yahweh, the offering must be of fine flour. He is to pour oil on it and put frankincense on it, 2and bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests. The priest is to take a handful of the fine flour and oil, together with all the frankincense, and burn this as its memorial portion on the altar, a fire offering, a pleasing aroma to Yahweh. 3What remains of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy portion of the fire offerings of Yahweh. 4When you bring a grain offering baked in an oven, it is to be fine flour — either unleavened cakes mixed with oil or unleavened wafers spread with oil. 5If your offering is a grain offering prepared on a griddle, it is to be made of fine flour mixed with oil, without yeast. 6Break it into pieces and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering. 7If your offering is a grain offering prepared in a pan, it is to be made of fine flour with oil. 8Bring to Yahweh the grain offering made from these things, present it to the priest, and he will take it to the altar. 9The priest is to remove the memorial portion from the grain offering and burn it on the altar, a fire offering, a pleasing aroma to Yahweh. 10What remains of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy portion of the fire offerings of Yahweh. 11No grain offering that you bring to Yahweh is to be made with yeast, for you must not burn any yeast or honey as a fire offering to Yahweh. 12You may bring them to Yahweh as an offering of firstfruits, but they must not be offered on the altar as a pleasing aroma. 13Season every grain offering of yours with salt; do not leave the salt of your God’s covenant out of your grain offering. Add salt to every offering you bring. 14If you bring a grain offering of firstfruits to Yahweh, offer crushed heads of new grain, roasted in the fire, as the grain offering of your firstfruits. 15Put oil on it and place frankincense on it; it is a grain offering. 16The priest is to burn the memorial portion — some of the crushed grain and oil, together with all the frankincense — as a fire offering to Yahweh.
