Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
כָּל־ הַמִּנְחָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֤ר תַּקְרִ֨יבוּ֙ לַיהוָ֔ה לֹ֥א תֵעָשֶׂ֖ה חָמֵ֑ץ
all/each/any/every the,grain_offering which/who bring to/for=YHWH not made leaven
If your language does not use this passive form, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Do not present to Yahweh any grain offering that you have made with leaven” or, in the third person, “He shall not present to Yahweh any grain offering that he has made with leaven]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
תַּקְרִ֨יבוּ֙ & לֹֽא־תַקְטִ֧ירוּ
bring & not burn
As the Introduction to this chapter discusses, at this point Leviticus starts using second-person plural pronouns. Yahweh is speaking about everyone who will offer grain offerings at the altar located at the entrance to the tent of meeting. If you have been using second-person singular pronouns in your translation and the switch to the plural form would not be natural in your language, you could continue to use singular forms here. Alternatively, if you have been using third-person pronouns, you could continue to do so throughout this chapter.
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
כִּ֤י
that/for/because/then/when
The word translated as for indicates that what follows is the reason or grounds for what came before. If it would be helpful to your readers, consider using a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation, following a period: [For this reason,]
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
מִמֶּ֛נּוּ אִשֶּׁ֖ה לַֽיהוָֽה
from=him/it offering_by_fire to/for=YHWH
The pronoun it refers to a grain offering that is designated to be burned on the altar as a sacrifice to Yahweh and, thus, will be considered a gift to Yahweh. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [from such a grain offering that you present as a gift to Yahweh” or, in the third person, “from such a grain offering that people present as a gift to Yahweh]
2:11 yeast: The bread commonly eaten in biblical times was comparable to modern sourdough. The substance that is often called “leaven” consisted of wild yeast spores mixed into moist dough or a flour mixture. The yeast would grow and cause the dough to ferment, souring and raising it. A reserved portion of the sour dough would be kneaded into subsequent batches (Matt 13:33). Unleavened bread was required for the Passover (Exod 12:8), in remembrance of Israel’s bondage in Egypt (Deut 16:3) and their speedy departure from that land (Exod 12:34; 13:3). Following the Exodus, unleavened bread acquired the status of altar bread. Leavened bread was not to be burned on the altar.
• honey: The Hebrew word (debash) can also refer to fruit nectar. The reason for its exclusion is not stated, but perhaps the frequent use of honey in pagan offerings, particularly to gods of the underworld, was a contributing reason. If the word refers to fruit nectar, its association with wine and fermentation may have linked it with yeast, making it ineligible to be burned on the altar. However, both honey and yeast were allowed as part of an offering of first crops (Lev 2:12). Loaves of bread made with yeast were to be presented with thank offerings (7:13) and as a gift to the priest in the Festival of Harvest (23:17). In the New Testament, yeast becomes a spiritual metaphor, playing on its sour taste and on its tendency to spread (Matt 16:6, 11, 12; 1 Cor 5:6-8; cp. Matt 13:33).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
