And when any will offer a meat offering unto the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:

And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord:

And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire.

And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.

And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.

Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a meat offering.

And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in the fryingpan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.

And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto the Lord: and when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the altar.

And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.

10 And that which is left of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire.

11 No meat offering, which ye shall bring unto the Lord, shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the Lord made by fire.

12 As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto the Lord: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour.

13 And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.

14 And if thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the Lord, thou shalt offer for the meat offering of thy firstfruits green ears of corn dried by the fire, even corn beaten out of full ears.

15 And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meat offering.

16 And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the beaten corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto the Lord.

Sacrifices To Give Thanks to the Lord

The Lord said:

When you offer sacrifices to give thanks to me,[a] you must use only your finest flour. Put it in a dish, sprinkle olive oil and incense on the flour, and take it to the priests from Aaron's family. One of them will scoop up the incense together with a handful of the flour and oil. Then, to show that the whole offering belongs to me, the priest will lay this part on the bronze altar and send it up in smoke with a smell that pleases me. The rest of this sacrifice is for the priests; it is very holy because it was offered to me.

If you bake bread in an oven for this sacrifice, use only your finest flour, but without any yeast. You may make the flour into a loaf mixed with olive oil, or you may make it into thin wafers and brush them with oil.

If you cook bread in a shallow pan for this sacrifice, use only your finest flour. Mix it with olive oil, but do not use any yeast. Then break the bread into small pieces and sprinkle them with oil. If you cook your bread in a pan with a lid on it, you must also use the finest flour mixed with oil.

You may prepare sacrifices to give thanks in any of these three ways. Bring your sacrifice to a priest, and he will take it to the bronze altar. Then, to show that the whole offering belongs to me, the priest will lay part of it on the altar and send it up in smoke with a smell that pleases me. 10 The rest of this sacrifice is for the priests; it is very holy because it was offered to me.

11 Yeast and honey must never be burned on the altar, so don't ever mix either of these in a grain sacrifice. 12 You may offer either of them separately,[b] when you present the first part of your harvest to me, but they must never be burned on the altar.

13 Salt is offered when you make an agreement with me, so sprinkle salt on these sacrifices.

14 Freshly cut grain, either roasted or coarsely ground,[c] must be used when you offer the first part of your grain harvest. 15 You must mix in some olive oil and put incense on top, because this is a grain sacrifice. 16 A priest will sprinkle all of the incense and some of the grain and oil on the altar and send them up in smoke to show that the whole offering belongs to me.

The Grain Offering

‘When anyone offers (A)a grain offering to the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour. And he shall pour oil on it, and put (B)frankincense on it. He shall bring it to Aaron’s sons, the priests, one of whom shall take from it his handful of fine flour and oil with all the frankincense. And the priest shall burn (C)it as a memorial on the altar, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord. (D)The rest of the grain offering shall be Aaron’s and his (E)sons’. (F)It is most holy of the offerings to the Lord made by fire.

‘And if you bring as an offering a grain offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers (G)anointed[a] with oil. But if your offering is a grain offering baked in a [b]pan, it shall be of fine flour, unleavened, mixed with oil. You shall break it in pieces and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering.

‘If your offering is a grain offering baked in a (H)covered pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. You shall bring the grain offering that is made of these things to the Lord. And when it is presented to the priest, he shall bring it to the altar. Then the priest shall take from the grain offering (I)a memorial portion, and burn it on the altar. It is an (J)offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord. 10 And (K)what is left of the grain offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. It is most holy of the offerings to the Lord made by fire.

11 ‘No grain offering which you bring to the Lord shall be made with (L)leaven, for you shall burn no leaven nor any honey in any offering to the Lord made by fire. 12 (M)As for the offering of the firstfruits, you shall offer them to the Lord, but they shall not be burned on the altar for a sweet aroma. 13 And every offering of your grain offering (N)you shall season with salt; you shall not allow (O)the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your grain offering. (P)With all your offerings you shall offer salt.

14 ‘If you offer a grain offering of your firstfruits to the Lord, (Q)you shall offer for the grain offering of your firstfruits green heads of grain roasted on the fire, grain beaten from (R)full heads. 15 And (S)you shall put oil on it, and lay frankincense on it. It is a grain offering. 16 Then the priest shall burn (T)the memorial portion: part of its beaten grain and part of its oil, with all the frankincense, as an offering made by fire to the Lord.

At pagka ang sinoman ay maghahandog sa Panginoon ng alay na handog na harina, ay mainam na harina ang kaniyang iaalay; at kaniyang bubuhusan ng langis, at lalagyan ng kamangyan:

At dadalhin niya sa mga saserdote, na mga anak ni Aaron; at siya'y kukuha ng isang dakot na mainam na harina at ng langis, sangpu ng buong kamangyan niyaon. At susunugin ng saserdote sa ibabaw ng dambana na pinakaalaala, na isang handog nga na pinaraan sa apoy na pinakamasarap na amoy sa Panginoon:

At ang kalabisan sa handog na harina ay mapapasa kay Aaron at sa kaniyang mga anak: kabanalbanalang bagay nga sa mga handog sa Panginoon na pinaraan sa apoy.

At pagka ikaw ay maghahandog ng alay na handog na harina na luto sa hurno, ay mga munting tinapay na walang lebadura ang iaalay mo na mainam na harina, na hinaluan ng langis, o mga manipis na tinapay na walang lebadura, na hinaluan ng langis.

At kung ang iyong alay ay handog na harina, na luto sa kawali, ay mainam na harina ang iaalay mo na walang lebadura, na hinaluan ng langis.

Iyong pagpuputolputulin, at bubuhusan mo ng langis: isa ngang handog na harina.

At kung ang iyong alay ay handog na harina na luto sa kawaling bakal, ay yari sa mainam na harina na may langis ang iaalay mo.

At dadalhin mo sa Panginoon ang handog na harina na yari sa mga bagay na ito: at ihaharap sa saserdote at dadalhin niya sa dambana.

At kukuha ang saserdote ng handog na harina, na pinakaalaala rin niyaon, at susunugin sa ibabaw ng dambana: handog ngang pinaraan sa apoy, na pinakamasarap na amoy sa Panginoon.

10 At ang kalabisan sa handog na harina ay mapapasa kay Aaron at sa kaniyang mga anak; kabanalbanalang bagay nga sa mga handog sa Panginoon na pinaraan sa apoy.

11 Walang handog na harina na ihahandog kayo sa Panginoon, na magkakalebadura: sapagka't huwag kayong magsusunog ng anomang lebadura ni ng anomang pulot na pinaka handog, sa Panginoon, na pinaraan sa apoy.

12 Bilang pinakaalay na mga pangunang bunga ihahandog ninyo sa Panginoon: nguni't hindi sasampa sa dambana na parang masarap na amoy.

13 At titimplahan mo ng asin ang lahat ng alay na iyong handog na harina, ni huwag mong titiising magkulang sa iyong handog na harina ng asin ng tipan ng iyong Dios: lahat ng alay mo'y ihahandog mong may asin.

14 At kung maghahandog ka sa Panginoon ng handog na harina na pangunang bunga, ay ihahandog mong pinakahandog na harina ng iyong pangunang bunga ay sinangag sa apoy, mga murang butil na pinipi.

15 At bubuhusan mo ng langis yaon, at lalagyan mo sa ibabaw ng kamangyan: yaon nga'y handog na harina.

16 At susunugin ng saserdote na nakaalaala niyaon, ang bahagi ng butil na pinipi at ang bahagi ng langis, pati ng buong kamangyan niyaon: handog nga sa Panginoon na pinaraan sa apoy.

The Grain Offering

“‘When anyone brings a grain offering(A) to the Lord, their offering is to be of the finest flour.(B) They are to pour olive oil(C) on it,(D) put incense on it(E) and take it to Aaron’s sons the priests.

Crumble it and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering. If your grain offering is cooked in a pan,(Q) it is to be made of the finest flour and some olive oil.
