Leviticus 2

The AIT Bible

The Grain Offering

1When a person brings a grain offering to Yahweh, his offering shall be of fine flour; he shall pour oil on it and put frankincense on it,

2and he shall bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests. He shall take from it a handful of its fine flour and its oil, along with all its frankincense, and the priest shall turn its memorial portion into smoke on the altar, a fire offering, a soothing aroma to Yahweh.

3And what is left of the grain offering shall belong to Aaron and his sons, a most holy portion from the fire offerings of Yahweh.

4And when you bring an offering of a grain offering baked in an oven, it shall be of fine flour: unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers spread with oil.

5And if your offering is a grain offering baked on a griddle, it shall be of fine flour mixed with oil, unleavened.

6Break it into pieces and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering.

7And if your offering is a grain offering made in a pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.

8You shall bring the grain offering that is made from these things to Yahweh; and he shall present it to the priest, and he shall bring it near to the altar.

9And the priest shall lift up from the grain offering its memorial portion and turn it into smoke on the altar, a fire offering, a soothing aroma to Yahweh.

10And what is left of the grain offering shall belong to Aaron and his sons, a most holy portion from the fire offerings of Yahweh.

11No grain offering that you bring to Yahweh shall be made with leaven, for you shall not turn any leaven or any honey into smoke as a fire offering to Yahweh.

12As an offering of firstfruits you may bring them to Yahweh, but they shall not go up on the altar as a soothing aroma.

13And every offering of your grain offering you shall season with salt; you shall not let the salt of the covenant of your God be missing from your grain offering. With all your offerings you shall present salt.

14And if you bring a grain offering of firstfruits to Yahweh, you shall bring fresh grain roasted with fire, crushed kernels of new grain, as the grain offering of your firstfruits.

15And you shall put oil on it and set frankincense on it; it is a grain offering.

16And the priest shall turn its memorial portion into smoke, from its crushed grain and from its oil, along with all its frankincense, a fire offering to Yahweh.
