Leviticus 2
New Life Version
Grain Gifts
2 ‘When anyone gives a grain gift to the Lord, it should be of fine flour. He should pour oil on it and put special perfume on it. 2 Then he will take it to Aaron’s sons, the religious leaders. The religious leader will fill his hand with the fine flour, oil and special perfume and will burn it on the altar as a part to be remembered. It will be a gift by fire, a pleasing smell to the Lord. 3 The rest of the grain gift will belong to Aaron and his sons. It is a most holy part of the gifts by fire to the Lord.
4 ‘When you bring a gift of grain that has been baked, it should be loaves of fine flour without yeast and mixed with oil, or hard bread without yeast and spread with oil. 5 If your gift of grain has been cooked on top of the stove, it should be of fine flour without yeast and mixed with oil. 6 Break it into pieces and pour oil on it. It is a grain gift. 7 If your gift of grain has been cooked in a pot, it should be made of fine flour with oil. 8 Bring the grain gift that is made of these things to the Lord. It will be given to the religious leader, and he will bring it to the altar. 9 The religious leader will take the part to be remembered from the grain gift and burn it on the altar. It will be a gift by fire, a pleasing smell to the Lord. 10 The rest of the grain gift belongs to Aaron and his sons. It is a most holy part of the gifts by fire to the Lord.
11 ‘No grain gift that you bring to the Lord will be made with yeast. For you must never burn yeast or honey in any gift by fire to the Lord. 12 You may bring them to the Lord as a gift of first-fruits, but not for a pleasing smell upon the altar. 13 You should add salt to all your grain gifts. The salt of the agreement of your God must be in your grain gift. Give salt with all your gifts.
14 ‘If you give a grain gift of first-fruits to the Lord, give crushed new grain from new plants, dried by fire. 15 Put oil and special perfume on it. It is a grain gift. 16 The religious leader will burn part of its crushed grain and oil with all its special perfume, as its part to be remembered. It is a gift by fire to the Lord.

The Statutes of Grain Offerings
2 ‘Now when anyone brings near a (A)grain offering as an offering to Yahweh, his offering shall be of fine flour, and he shall pour oil on it and put frankincense on it. 2 He shall then bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests; and he shall take from it (B)his handful of its fine flour and of its oil with all of its frankincense. And the priest shall offer it up in smoke as its (C)memorial portion on the altar, an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to Yahweh. 3 (D)And the remainder of the grain offering belongs to (E)Aaron and his sons: a thing most holy of the offerings to Yahweh by fire.
4 ‘Now when you bring near an offering of a grain offering baked in an oven, it shall be (F)unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil or unleavened wafers [a]spread with oil. 5 And if your offering is a grain offering made (G)on the griddle, it shall be of fine flour, unleavened, mixed with oil; 6 you shall break it into bits and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering. 7 Now if your offering is a grain offering made (H)in a [b]pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. 8 And you will bring in the grain offering which is made of these things to Yahweh, and it shall be brought near to the priest, and he shall bring it to the altar. 9 The priest then shall raise up from the grain offering (I)its memorial portion, and he shall offer it up in smoke on the altar as an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to Yahweh. 10 (J)And the remainder of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons: a thing most holy of the offerings to Yahweh by fire.
11 ‘(K)No grain offering, which you bring near to Yahweh, shall be made with leaven, for you shall not offer [c]up in smoke any leaven or any honey as an (L)offering by fire to Yahweh. 12 (M)As an offering of first fruits you shall bring them near to Yahweh, but they shall not ascend for a soothing aroma on the altar. 13 Every grain offering of yours, moreover, you shall season with salt, so that (N)the salt of the covenant of your God shall not be lacking from your grain offering; with all your offerings you shall bring salt near.
14 ‘Also if you bring near a grain offering of early ripened things to Yahweh, you shall bring near (O)fresh heads of grain roasted in the fire, grits of new growth, for the grain offering of your early ripened things. 15 You shall then put oil on it and place frankincense on it; it is a grain offering. 16 And the priest shall offer up in smoke (P)its memorial portion, part of its grits and its oil with all its frankincense as an offering by fire to Yahweh.
