Leviticus

Laws for Grain Offerings

1“When anyone brings a grain offering to the LORD, his offering must consist of fine flour. He is to pour olive oil on it, put frankincense on it,

2and bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests. The priest shall take a handful of the flour and oil, together with all the frankincense, and burn this as a memorial portion on the altar, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

3The remainder of the grain offering shall belong to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the food offerings to the LORD.

4Now if you bring an offering of grain baked in an oven, it must consist of fine flour, either unleavened cakes mixed with oil or unleavened wafers coated with oil.

5If your offering is a grain offering prepared on a griddle,it must be unleavened bread made of fine flour mixed with oil.

6Crumble it and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering.

7If your offering is a grain offering cooked in a pan,it must consist of fine flour with oil.

8When you bring to the LORD the grain offering made in any of these ways, it is to be presented to the priest, and he shall take it to the altar.

9The priest is to remove the memorial portion from the grain offering and burn it on the altar as a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

10But the remainder of the grain offering shall belong to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the food offerings to the LORD.

11No grain offering that you present to the LORD may be made with leaven, for you are not to burn any leaven or honey as a food offering to the LORD.

12You may bring them to the LORD as an offering of firstfruits, but they must not go up on the altar as a pleasing aroma.

13And you shall season each of your grain offerings with salt. You must not leave the salt of the covenant of your God out of your grain offering; you are to add salt to each of your offerings.

14If you bring a grain offering of firstfruits to the LORD, you shall offer crushed heads of new grain roasted on the fire.

15And you are to put oil and frankincense on it; it is a grain offering.

16The priest shall then burn the memorial portion of the crushed grain and the oil, together with all its frankincense, as a food offering to the LORD.

1When any one shall offer an oblation of sacrifice to the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour, and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense,

2And shall bring it to the sons of Aaron the priests: and one of them shall take a handful of the flour and oil, and all the frankincense, and shall put it a memorial upon the altar for a most sweet savour to the Lord.

3And the remnant of the sacrifice shall be Aaron’s, and his sons’, holy of holies of the offerings of the Lord.

4But when thou offerest a sacrifice baked in the oven of flour, to wit, loaves without leaven, tempered with oil, and unleavened wafers, anointed with oil:

5If thy oblation be from the fryingpan, of flour tempered with oil, and without leaven,

6Thou shalt divide it into little pieces, and shalt pour oil upon it.

7And if the sacrifice be from the gridiron, in like manner the flour shall be tempered with oil:

8And when thou offerest it to the Lord, thou shalt deliver it to the hands of the priest.

9And when he hath offered it, he shall take a memorial out of the sacrifice, and burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour to the Lord.

10And whatsoever is left, shall be Aaron’s, and his sons’, holy of holies of the offerings of the Lord.

11Every oblation that is offered to the Lord shall be made without leaven, neither shall any leaven or honey be burnt in the sacrifice to the Lord.

12You shall offer only the firstfruits of them and gifts: but they shall not be put upon the altar, for a savour of sweetness,

13Whatsoever sacrifice thou offerest, thou shalt season it with salt, neither shalt thou take away the salt of the covenant of thy God from thy sacrifice. In all thy oblations thou shalt offer salt.

14But if thou offer a gift of the firstfruits of thy corn to the Lord, of the ears yet green, thou shalt dry it at the fire, and break it small like meal, and so shalt thou offer thy firstfruits to the Lord,

15Pouring oil upon it and putting on frankincense, because it is the oblation of the Lord.

16Whereof the priest shall burn for a memorial of the gift, part of the corn broken small and of the oil, and all the frankincense.
