The grain offering (1-16)
2 “ ‘Now if someone* presents a grain offering+ to Jehovah, his offering must be fine flour, and he should pour oil on it and put frankincense on it.+
2 Then he will bring it to the sons of Aaron, the priests, and the priest will take a handful of the fine flour and oil and all its frankincense, and he will make it smoke as a token offering*+ on the altar, an offering made by fire of a pleasing* aroma to Jehovah.
3 Whatever is left of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons+ as something most holy+ from Jehovah’s offerings made by fire.
4 “ ‘If you present a grain offering that has been baked in the oven, it should be of fine flour, unleavened ring-shaped loaves mixed with oil or unleavened wafers spread with oil.+
5 “ ‘If your offering is a grain offering from the griddle,+ it should be of fine, unleavened flour mixed with oil.
6 It should be broken into pieces, and you are to pour oil on it.+ It is a grain offering.
7 “ ‘If your offering is a grain offering prepared in a pan, it should be made of fine flour with oil.
8 You should bring the grain offering that was made of these to Jehovah, and it will be presented to the priest, who will bring it near to the altar.
9 And the priest will lift off some of the grain offering as a token offering*+ and make it smoke on the altar as an offering made by fire of a pleasing* aroma to Jehovah.+
10 What is left of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons as something most holy of Jehovah’s offerings by fire.+
11 “ ‘No grain offering that you present to Jehovah should be leavened,+ for you must not make any sourdough or honey smoke as an offering made by fire to Jehovah.
12 “ ‘You may present them to Jehovah as an offering of the firstfruits,+ but they must not be brought to the altar as a pleasing* aroma.
13 “ ‘Every grain offering you make is to be seasoned with salt; and you must not allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be missing from your grain offering. Along with every offering of yours, you will present salt.+
14 “ ‘If you present the grain offering of the first ripe fruits to Jehovah, you should present new grain* roasted with fire, coarsely crushed new kernels, as the grain offering of your first ripe fruits.+
15 You are to put oil on it and place frankincense on it. It is a grain offering.
16 The priest will make it smoke as a token offering,*+ that is, some of the coarse grain and oil along with all its frankincense, as an offering made by fire to Jehovah.
