The Book of Leviticus 2

2 Now if you want to offer a grain offering to Yahweh, you should offer wheat flour. Pour out some olive oil on it and place incense on top of it. 2 You should bring the offering of wheat flour to Aaron’s sons, the priests. A priest should scoop out of your offering a handful of the flour and olive oil, as well as all the incense—as large a handful as he is able to scoop. Then, the priest should burn the portion of your offering that he scooped out with his hand, doing it in a way that causes smoke to go up on the altar. When this happens, Yahweh will consider it to be a gift, and he will enjoy the smell of the smoke of the offering. 3 The rest of the wheat flour that you offer, as a sacrifice to Yahweh, you should preserve for Aaron and his sons. You should consider this portion of the offering as especially set apart for the priests among all the gifts that you offer to Yahweh and that are set apart for him.

4 But if you want to offer grain offering that consists of something that you baked in an oven, you should offer wheat flour that you mixed with olive oil into unleavened cakes. Or you could offer wheat flour that you shaped into unleavened crackers and coated with olive oil. 5 But if your grain offering consists of something that you pan-fried on a griddle, you should offer wheat flour that you mixed with olive oil into unleavened bread. 6 You should break the offering into pieces and pour out some olive oil onto it. These actions qualify the offering as a grain offering. 7 If your grain offering consists of something that you deep-fried in a pan, you should offer wheat flour that you mixed with olive oil. 8 In any case, you should bring to Yahweh the grain offering that you have made in this way with these ingredients. You should present the offering to the priest. He will bring it to the altar. 9 There he should lift out from the grain offering the portion that he will burn. Then he should burn that handful on the altar in a way that causes smoke to go up. When this happens, Yahweh will consider the offering to be a gift, and he will enjoy the smell of the smoke. 10 The rest of the grain offering you should preserve for Aaron and his sons. You should consider this portion of the sacrifice as especially set apart for the priests among all the gifts that you offer to Yahweh and that are set apart for him.

11 You should not burn any gift to Yahweh that contains any yeast or any honey on the altar in a way that causes smoke to go up. Make sure that whenever you offer a grain offering to Yahweh, you have prepared it without using yeast. 12 Any offerings to Yahweh that contain yeast or honey you should offer as a presentation of the produce of the field that has been harvested first. But do not burn these kinds of grain offerings on the altar so that they go up to Yahweh as pleasant-smelling smoke. 13 Likewise, you should season every grain offering with salt. You should never present a grain offering without the salt, which reminds you of Yahweh's promises to you. Every grain offering should contain salt that you have also presented to Yahweh.

14 But if you want to offer to Yahweh a grain offering that consists of the first harvest of ripened grains, do this. Offer the first ripe grains that you harvest, ears of grain in the early stage of ripening that you have roasted over a fire, that is, grains from freshly ripened ears of grain that you have crushed. 15 You should pour out some olive oil on these kinds of offerings and you should place incense on them. These kinds of offerings also qualify as grain offerings. 16 The priest should burn the portion of the offering that he scooped out with his handful—the crushed grains and the olive oil, as well as all of the incense—in a way that causes smoke to go up. When this happens, Yahweh will consider the offering to be a gift.
