1 When any person presents a grain-offering to the Lord, his offering
shall be of flour. He shall pour oil on it and add frankincense to it.
2 He shall bring it to the Aaronite priests, one of whom shall scoop up
a handful of the flour and oil with all the frankincense. The priest shall
burn this as a token on the altar, a food-offering of soothing odour to
the Lord.
3 The remainder of the grain-offering belongs to Aaron and
his sons: it is most sacred, it is taken from the food-offerings of the
Lord.
4 When you present as a grain-offering something baked in an oven,
it shall consist of unleavened cakes of flour mixed with oil and unleavened
wafers smeared with oil.
5 If your offering is a grain-offering
cooked on a griddle, it shall be an unleavened cake of flour mixed with
oil.
6 Crumble it in pieces and pour oil on it. This is a grain-offering.
7 If your offering is a grain-offering cooked in a pan, it shall be made
of flour with oil.
8 Bring an offering made up in this way to the Lord and
present it to the priest, who shall bring it to the altar;
9 then he shall set
aside part of the grain-offering as a token and burn it on the altar, a
food-offering of soothing odour to the Lord.
10 The remainder of the
grain-offering belongs to Aaron and his sons: it is most sacred, it is
taken from the food-offerings of the Lord.
11 No grain-offering which you present to the Lord shall be made of
anything that ferments; you shall not burn any leaven or any honey as
a food-offering to the Lord.
12 As for your offering of firstfruits, you shall
present them to the Lord, but they shall not be offered up at the altar
as a soothing odour.
13 Every offering of yours which is a grain-offering
shall be salted; you shall not fail to put the salt of your covenant with
God on your grain-offering. Salt shall accompany all offerings.
14 If you present to the Lord a grain-offering of first-ripe grain, you
must present fresh corn roasted, crushed meal from fully ripened corn.
15 You shall add oil to it and put frankincense upon it. This is a grain-offering.
16 The priest shall burn as its token some of the crushed meal,
some of the oil, and all the frankincense as a food-offering to the Lord.
