The Bible
Leviticus Chapter 2
1"'When anyone offers an offering of a meal offering to Yahweh, his offering shall be of fine flour. He should pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it. 2He must bring it to Aaron's sons, the priests. He is to take a handful of its fine flour, and of its oil, with all its frankincense, and the priest is to burn its memorial on the altar, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh. 3What is left of the meal offering shall be Aaron's and his sons'. It is a most holy part of Yahweh's offerings 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. 5If your offering is a meal offering made on a griddle, it shall be of unleavened fine flour, mixed with oil. 6Cut it in pieces, and pour oil on it. It is a meal offering. 7If your offering is a meal offering of the pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. 8Bring the meal offering that is made of these things to Yahweh. It shall be presented to the priest, and he will bring it to the altar. 9The priest is to 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. 10What is left of the meal offering shall be Aaron's and his sons'. It is a most holy part of Yahweh's offerings made by fire.
11"'No meal offering which you offer to Yahweh is to be made with yeast, for you are not to burn any yeast or any honey as an offering made by fire to Yahweh. 12You are to offer them as an offering of first fruits to Yahweh, but they are not to rise up as a pleasant aroma on the altar. 13Season every meal offering with salt. Don't allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your meal offering. Offer salt with all your offerings.
14"'If you offer a meal offering of first fruits to Yahweh, offer for the meal offering of your first fruits fresh heads of grain roasted by fire and crushed. 15Put oil on it and lay frankincense on it. It is a meal offering. 16The priest is to 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.
