[1] When anyone presents a grain offering to the LORD, the offering must be of choice flour. They must pour oil on it and put frankincense on it, [2] then bring it to Aaron’s sons, the priests. A priest will take a handful of its choice flour and oil, along with all of its frankincense, and will completely burn this token portion on the altar as a food gift of soothing smell to the LORD. [3] The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons as a most holy portion from the LORD’s food gifts. [4] When you present a grain offering baked in an oven, it must be of choice flour: unleavened flatbread mixed with oil or unleavened wafers spread with oil. [5] If your offering is grain prepared on a griddle, it must be of choice flour mixed with oil and it must be unleavened. [6] Crumble it into pieces and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering. [7] If your offering is grain prepared in a pan, it must be made of choice flour with oil. [8] You will bring the grain offering made in one of these ways to the LORD, presenting it to the priest, who will then bring it to the altar. [9] The priest will remove from the grain offering the token portion and completely burn it on the altar as a food gift of soothing smell to the LORD. [10] The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons as a most holy portion from the LORD’s food gifts. [11] No grain offering that you give to the LORD can be made with yeast. You must not completely burn any yeast or honey as a food gift for the LORD. [12] You can present those as first-choice offerings to the LORD, but they must not be entirely burned up on the altar as a soothing smell. [13] You must season all your grain offerings with salt. Do not omit the salt of your God’s covenant from your grain offering. You must offer salt with all your offerings. [14] If you present a grain offering to the LORD from the first produce, you must make such an offering from the crushed heads of newly ripe grain, roasted with fire. [15] You must put oil and frankincense on it; it is a grain offering. [16] The priest will completely burn the token portion—some of the crushed new grain and oil along with all of the frankincense—as a food gift for the LORD.
