1 When anyone gives a grain gift to the Lord, it should be of fine flour. He should pour oil on it and put special perfume on it.

¶ And when any person will offer a present unto the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it and put frankincense thereon;

2 T hen he will take it to Aaron’s sons, the religious leaders. The religious leader will fill his hand with the fine flour, oil and special perfume and will burn it on the altar as a part to be remembered. It will be a gift by fire, a pleasing smell to the Lord.

and he shall bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests, who shall take out a handful of the flour thereof, with its oil, with all its frankincense; and the priest shall incense it upon the altar, to be an offering on fire, of an aroma very acceptable unto the LORD.

3 T he rest of the grain gift will belong to Aaron and his sons. It is a most holy part of the gifts by fire to the Lord.

And that which is left of the present shall be Aaron’s and his sons’; it is a thing most holy of the offerings on fire of the LORD.

4 When you bring a gift of grain that has been baked, it should be loaves of fine flour without yeast and mixed with oil, or hard bread without yeast and spread with oil.

And if thou shall offer a present baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil and unleavened wafers anointed with oil.

5 I f your gift of grain has been cooked on top of the stove, it should be of fine flour without yeast and mixed with oil.

And if thy present is an offering baked in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.

6 B reak it into pieces and pour oil on it. It is a grain gift.

Thou shalt part it in pieces and pour oil thereon; it shall be a present.

7 I f your gift of grain has been cooked in a pot, it should be made of fine flour with oil.

And if thy present is an offering cooked in a pot, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.

8 B ring the grain gift that is made of these things to the Lord. It will be given to the religious leader, and he will bring it to the altar.

And thou shalt bring the present that is made of these things unto the LORD and offer it unto the priest, who shall bring it unto the altar.

9 T he religious leader will take the part to be remembered from the grain gift and burn it on the altar. It will be a gift by fire, a pleasing smell to the Lord.

And the priest shall take from that present a memorial thereof and shall incense it upon the altar; it shall be an offering on fire, of a very acceptable aroma unto the LORD.

10 T he rest of the grain gift belongs to Aaron and his sons. It is a most holy part of the gifts by fire to the Lord.

And that which is left of the present shall be Aaron’s and his sons’; it is a thing most holy of the offerings on fire of the LORD.

11 No grain gift that you bring to the Lord will be made with yeast. For you must never burn yeast or honey in any gift by fire to the Lord.

¶ No present which ye shall offer unto the LORD shall be with leaven; for of nothing leavened, nor any honey, shall ye make any offering incensed unto the LORD.

12 Y ou may bring them to the Lord as a gift of first-fruits, but not for a pleasing smell upon the altar.

In the offering of the firstfruits ye shall offer them unto the LORD, but they shall not be offered on the altar for an acceptable aroma.

13 Y ou should add salt to all your grain gifts. The salt of the agreement of your God must be in your grain gift. Give salt with all your gifts.

And every offering of thy present shalt thou season with salt, and thou shalt never allow the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy present; with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.

14 If you give a grain gift of first-fruits to the Lord, give crushed new grain from new plants, dried by fire.

And if thou offer a present of thy firstfruits unto the LORD, thou shalt offer for the offering of thy firstfruits green ears of grain dried by the fire, even grain beaten out of full ears.

15 P ut oil and special perfume on it. It is a grain gift.

And thou shalt put oil upon it and lay frankincense thereon: this shall be a present.

16 T he religious leader will burn part of its crushed grain and oil with all its special perfume, as its part to be remembered. It is a gift by fire to the Lord.

And the priest shall incense the memorial of it, part of the beaten grain thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: this shall be an offering on fire unto the LORD.
