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.

Och när någon vill bära fram ett spisoffer åt HERREN skall hans offer vara av fint mjöl, och han skall gjuta olja därpå och lägga rökelse därpå.

Och han skall bära det fram till Arons söner, prästerna; och prästen skall taga en handfull därav, nämligen av mjölet och oljan, därtill all rökelsen, och skall på altaret förbränna detta, som utgör själva altaroffret: ett eldsoffer till en välbehaglig lukt för HERREN.

Och det som är över av spisoffret skall tillhöra Aron och hans söner. Bland HERRENS eldsoffer är det högheligt.

Men när du vill bära fram ett spisoffer av det som bakas i ugn, skall det vara av fint mjöl, osyrade kakor, begjutna med olja, och osyrade tunnkakor, smorda med olja.

Och om ditt offer är ett spisoffer som tillredes på plåt, så skall det vara av fint mjöl, begjutet med olja, osyrat.

Du skall bryta sönder det i stycken och gjuta olja därpå. Det är ett spisoffer.

Och om ditt offer är ett spisoffer som tillredes i panna, så skall det tillredas av fint mjöl med olja.

Det spisoffer som är tillrett på något av dessa sätt skall du föra fram till HERREN; det skall bäras fram till prästen, och han skall hava det fram till altaret.

Och prästen skall av spisoffret taga den del som utgör själva altaroffret och förbränna den på altaret: ett eldsoffer till en välbehaglig lukt för HERREN.

10 Och det som är över av spisoffret skall tillhöra Aron och hans söner. Bland HERRENS eldsoffer är det högheligt.

11 Intet spisoffer som I viljen bära fram åt HERREN skall vara syrat, ty varken av surdeg eller av honung skolen I förbränna något såsom eldsoffer åt HERREN.

12 Såsom förstlingsoffer mån I bära fram sådant åt HERREN, men på altaret må det icke komma för att vara en välbehaglig lukt.

13 Och alla dina spisoffer skall du beströ med salt; du må icke låta din Guds förbunds salt fattas på ditt spisoffer. Till alla dina offer skall du offra salt.

14 Men om du vill bära fram åt HERREN ett spisoffer av förstlingsfrukter, skall du såsom ett sådant spisoffer av dina förstlingsfrukter böra fram ax, rostade vid eld, sönderstötta, av grönskuren säd.

15 Och du skall gjuta olja därpå och lägga rökelse därpå. Det är ett spisoffer.

16 Och prästen skall förbränna den del av de sönderstötta axen och av oljan, som utgör själva altaroffret, jämte all rökelsen därpå: ett eldsoffer åt Herren.

The Grain Offering

The priest shall take a handful of the flour(F) and oil, together with all the incense,(G) and burn this as a memorial[a] portion(H) on the altar, a food offering,(I) an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(J) The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons;(K) it is a most holy(L) part of the food offerings presented to the Lord.

“‘If you bring a grain offering baked in an oven,(M) it is to consist of the finest flour: either thick loaves made without yeast and with olive oil mixed in or thin loaves(N) made without yeast and brushed with olive oil.(O) If your grain offering is prepared on a griddle,(P) it is to be made of the finest flour mixed with oil, and without yeast. 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.

11 “‘Every grain offering you bring to the Lord must be made without yeast,(V) for you are not to burn any yeast or honey in a food offering presented to the Lord. 12 You may bring them to the Lord as an offering of the firstfruits,(W) but they are not to be offered on the altar as a pleasing aroma. 13 Season all your grain offerings with salt.(X) Do not leave the salt of the covenant(Y) of your God out of your grain offerings; add salt to all your offerings.

14 “‘If you bring a grain offering of firstfruits(Z) to the Lord, offer crushed heads of new grain roasted in the fire. 15 Put oil and incense(AA) on it; it is a grain offering. 16 The priest shall burn the memorial portion(AB) of the crushed grain and the oil, together with all the incense,(AC) as a food offering presented to the Lord.(AD)

Matzah Flour Offerings

“When anyone brings a sacrifice offering of grain to Adonai, his offering should be of fine flour, and he is to pour oil on it and put frankincense on it. He is to bring it to Aaron’s sons, the kohanim, and he shall take from there his handful of its fine flour, and of its oil, with all its frankincense. Then the kohen shall burn up as smoke its memorial portion on the altar, an offering made by fire—a soothing aroma to Adonai. What is left of the grain offering is for Aaron and his sons, a most holy portion of the offerings to Adonai made by fire.

“When you bring a sacrifice offering of grain baked in the oven, it is to consist of matzah cakes of fine flour mixed with oil or matzah wafers anointed with oil. If your sacrifice is a grain offering from the pan, it is to consist of fine flour, mixed with oil, matzah. You should cut it in pieces and pour oil on it. It is a grain offering.

“Now if your sacrifice is a grain offering of the pan, it is to be made of fine flour with oil. When you bring the grain offering that is made of these things to Adonai, it is to be presented to the kohen and he is to bring it to the altar. The kohen is to take from the grain offering its memorial portion, and burn it up as smoke on the altar, an offering made by fire—a soothing aroma to Adonai. 10 What is left of the grain offering is for Aaron and his sons, a most holy portion of the offerings to Adonai made by fire.

11 “Every grain offering which you present to Adonai should be made without hametz, for you are not to burn up as smoke any hametz nor any honey as a sacrifice made by fire to Adonai. 12 As a gift of firstfruits you may offer them to Adonai, but they are not to ascend for a soothing aroma on the altar. 13 Also you are to season with salt every sacrifice of your grain offering. You are never to allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your grain offering. With all your sacrifices you must offer salt.

14 “If you bring a grain offering of firstfruits to Adonai, you are to present for the grain offering of your firstfruits of fresh ears of barley, scorched with fire—crushed grain of fresh ears. 15 You are then to put oil and frankincense on it. It is a grain offering. 16 The kohen shall burn up as its memorial portion part of its crushed grain and part of its oil, along with all its frankincense. It is an offering made by fire to Adonai.
