2:1  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,
2:2  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.
2:3  The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons as a most holy portion from the Lord’s food gifts.
2:4  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.
2:5  If your offering is grain prepared on a griddle, it must be of choice flour mixed with oil and it must be unleavened.
2:6  Crumble it into pieces and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering.
2:7  If your offering is grain prepared in a pan, it must be made of choice flour with oil.
2:8  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.
2:9  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.
2:10  The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons as a most holy portion from the Lord’s food gifts.
2:11  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.
2:12  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.
2:13  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.
2:14  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.
2:15  You must put oil and frankincense on it; it is a grain offering.
2:16  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.
