Vayikra (Lev) 2

1 “‘Anyone who brings a grain offering toAdonaiis to make his offering of fine flour; he is to pour olive oil on it and put frankincense on it.

2 He is to bring it to the sons of Aharon, thecohanim. Thecohenis to take a handful of fine flour from it, together with its olive oil and all its frankincense, and make this reminder portion go up in smoke on the altar as an offering made by fire, a fragrant aroma forAdonai.

3 But the rest of the grain offering will belong to Aharon and his sons; it is an especially holy part of the offerings forAdonaimade by fire.

4 “‘When you bring a grain offering which has been baked in the oven, it is to consist of either unleavened cakes made of fine flour mixed with olive oil ormatzahspread with olive oil.

5 If your offering is a grain offering cooked on a griddle, it is to consist of unleavened fine flour mixed with olive oil;

6 you are to break it in pieces and pour olive oil on it — it is a grain offering.(iii)

7 If your offering is a grain offering cooked in a pot, it is to consist of fine flour with olive oil.

8 “‘You are to bring the grain offering prepared in any of these ways toAdonai; it is to be presented to thecohen, and he is to bring it to the altar.

9 Thecohenis to remove the reminder portion of the grain offering and make it go up in smoke on the altar as an offering made by fire, a fragrant aroma forAdonai.

10 But the rest of the grain offering will belong to Aharon and his sons; it is an especially holy part of the offerings forAdonaimade by fire.

11 “‘No grain offering that you bring toAdonaiis to be made with leaven, because you are not to cause any leaven or honey to go up in smoke as an offering made by fire toAdonai.

12 As an offering of firstfruits you may bring these toAdonai, but they are not to be brought up onto the altar to make a fragrant aroma.

13 You are to season every grain offering of yours with salt — do not omit from your grain offering the salt of the covenant with your God, but offer salt with all your offerings.

14 “‘If you bring a grain offering of firstfruits toAdonai, you are to bring as the grain offering from your firstfruits kernels of grain from fresh ears, dry-roasted with fire.

15 Put olive oil on it, and lay frankincense on it; it is a grain offering.

16 Thecohenis to cause the reminder portion of it, its grits and olive oil, with all its frankincense, to go up in smoke; it is an offering made by fire forAdonai.
