Open English Translation LEV Chapter 2

2 “When someone presents a grain offering to Yahweh, it must be as fine, wheat flour mixed with olive, and with frankincense added to the top of it. 2 It must be taken to the priest Aharon’s sons who will take it from them, then take a handful out, being sure to get flour, oil, and some frankincense, and throw that memorial portion onto the altar to get completely burnt up as a pleasing aroma for Yahweh. 3 Then the rest of that grain offering will be for Aharon and his sons—it’s a very sacred part from the gifts for Yahweh.

4 “When someone presents something baked as their grain offering, it must be baked without leaven: either wheat flour mixed with olive oil and baked into flat buns, or else wheat flour biscuits with olive oil spread on top. 5 Or if your grain offering is done on the flat pan, it must be wheat flour mixed with olive oil and made into flat biscuits 6 that should then be crumbled and have oil poured over them as your grain offering. 7 Or if your grain offering is deep-fried in a pot, it must be made from wheat flour with olive oil.

8 “Any of the above types of grain offering to Yahweh must be presented to the priest, and he will take it to the altar. 9 Then he must take a handful as a memorial portion to the altar to get completely burnt up as a pleasing aroma for Yahweh. 10 Then the rest of that grain offering will be for Aharon and his sons—it’s a very sacred part from the gifts for Yahweh.

11 “Anything that’s presented to Yahweh as a grain offering must not be made with any rising agent, because any leaven or honey mustn’t be burnt as a gift to Yahweh. 12 Foods containing those can be presented as a first-fruits offering, but they mustn’t be burnt on the altar. 13 However, every grain offering must be salted—the salt in the grain offering is a reminder of our agreement, so it must always be present.

14 “Finally, if you want to offer ripe grain as a grain offering to Yahweh, then it must be a young ear of grain that’s been roasted over the fire and presented as a grain offering of your first ripe grains 15 with olive oil on it and some frankincense on top. That also becomes a grain offering, 16 and the priest must burn a memorial prtion from it with some of the crushed grains and some of the oil and some of the incense, to be burnt to become smoke as a gift to Yahweh.
