The Book of Leviticus

Chapter 2
|
1
If anyone would bring the Lord a bloodless offering, his gift must be of flour; over this he will pour oil, and lay incense on it,
2
and so he will bring it to the priests of Aaron’s line; one of whom will take up a handful of the wheat and oil, with all the incense, and cast it on the altar as a token-sacrifice, acceptable to the Lord in its fragrance.
3
All that is left of this sacrifice shall belong to Aaron and his sons; the remnant of the Lord’s own offering, it is set apart for holy uses.

4
If this bloodless offering of thine is cooked in the oven, it shall be of unleavened wheaten loaves, kneaded with oil, and unleavened cakes with oil poured over them;
5
if it is cooked in the pan, it shall be of unleavened flour kneaded with oil,
6
cut up into small pieces, with oil poured over them;
7
if it is cooked on the gridiron, it must still be of flour mingled with oil.
8
Thy gift to the Lord, it shall be put into the priest’s hands;
9
and he, in offering it, will separate the token-sacrifice, which he will burn there on the altar, acceptable to the Lord in its fragrance;
10
the rest shall belong to Aaron and his sons; the remnant of the Lord’s offering, it is set apart for holy uses.

11
All such offerings must be made to the Lord unleavened; no leaven or honey must be burnt with the Lord’s sacrifice.
12
Of such things, you may offer first-fruits, or bring gifts, but they shall not be put on the altar, to give out fragrance there.
13
Whatever sacrifice thou offerest is to be seasoned with salt; thou shalt not grudge thy God the salt which his covenant demands; salt shall be a part of every offering.
14
If thou makest the Lord a gift of thy first-fruits, thou shalt roast the ears, while they are still fresh, over the fire and bruise them as flour is bruised, and so offer the Lord thy first-fruits.
15
Thou shalt pour oil on them, too, and lay incense on them, to shew that they are an offering made to the Lord;
16
and the priest, for a token-sacrifice, shall burn part of the bruised grain and the oil, with all the incense.
