利未記 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
獻素祭的條例
2 「如果有人獻素祭給耶和華，要用細麵粉作祭物。要在細麵粉上澆油、加乳香， 2 帶到祭司——亞倫的子孫那裡。祭司要抓一把澆了油的細麵粉，連同所有乳香，作為象徵放在壇上焚燒。這是蒙耶和華悅納的馨香火祭。 3 剩下的素祭要歸亞倫及其子孫，這在獻給耶和華的火祭中是至聖的。
4 「如果獻用爐子烤的素祭，要獻調油的無酵細麵餅，或塗油的無酵薄餅。
5 「如果獻用平底鍋烤的素祭，要獻調油的無酵細麵餅。 6 要把餅掰成碎塊，澆上油。這是素祭。
7 「如果獻用煎鍋煎的素祭，要獻用細麵粉和油做的祭物。
8 「要把做好的素祭帶到耶和華面前，交給祭司獻在祭壇上。 9 祭司要從中取出一部分，作為象徵放在祭壇上焚燒。這是蒙耶和華悅納的馨香火祭。 10 剩下的素祭要歸亞倫及其子孫。在獻給耶和華的火祭中，這是至聖之物。
11 「獻給耶和華的任何素祭都不可含酵，因為你們不可把酵或蜜當作火祭獻給耶和華。 12 你們可以把酵和蜜作為初熟之祭獻給耶和華，但不可作為馨香之祭燒在祭壇上。 13 所有素祭中都要放鹽，藉此提醒你們與上帝所立的約。所有祭物中都要放鹽。
14 「如果將初熟的穀物獻給耶和華作素祭，要用烘好後壓碎的新麥穗， 15 加上油和乳香。這是素祭。 16 祭司要將一些壓碎的麥穗、油及所有乳香作為象徵焚燒。這是獻給耶和華的火祭。」
Leviticus 2
EasyEnglish Bible
Moses tells Israel's people what to do with gifts that are grain
2 A person may want to give grain as a gift to the Lord. He must make it into flour. He must put oil and incense on the flour. 2 He must take it to Aaron's sons, the priests. The priest will take some of the flour and oil and all the incense in his hand. He will burn them on the altar as a gift to the Lord. The smell of them while they are burning will give the Lord pleasure. 3 The flour that he did not burn is for the priests. It is very holy. That is because it is part of an offering to the Lord.
4 A person must not use yeast if he bakes his gift of grain. He must make cakes or biscuits with flour and oil. 5 He must not use yeast if he cooks his cake on a flat plate. He must make it with flour and oil. 6 He must break the cake into pieces. He must pour oil on it. It is a gift to God. 7 A person must use flour and oil to cook the cake in a pot. 8 He must give the cake to the priest. The priest will take it to the altar. 9 He will take a piece of it and he will burn it in the fire. It is a gift to the Lord. The smell of it while it is burning will give the Lord pleasure. 10 The part of the cake that he did not burn is for the priests. That is because it is most holy, part of a burnt offering to the Lord.
11 A person must not use yeast when he gives a gift of grain to the Lord. He must not give yeast or honey for the priests to burn as gifts to the Lord. 12 He can give them as the first part of his harvest. He must not burn them on the fire. He cannot use them to give the Lord pleasure. 13 A person must put salt in all his gifts of grain. Salt is a mark of God's promise to Israel's people.[a]
14 A person may want to give the first part of his harvest to the Lord. He must break the grains into pieces and he must cook them in a fire. 15 They are a gift, so he must put oil and incense on them. 16 The priest will burn a part of the grain with all the incense. It is a burnt offering to the Lord.

Leviticus 2
New King James Version
The Grain Offering
2 ‘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. 2 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. 3 (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.
4 ‘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. 5 But if your offering is a grain offering baked in a [b]pan, it shall be of fine flour, unleavened, mixed with oil. 6 You shall break it in pieces and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering.
7 ‘If your offering is a grain offering baked in a (H)covered pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. 8 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. 9 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.
