Regulations for the Supplementary Grain Offerings

When a person brings a grain offering[a] to the Lord, his gift shall be fine flour. He is to pour oil on it, place frankincense on it, and bring it to Aaron’s sons, the priests. He is to scoop out a handful of its fine flour and some of its oil, as well as all the frankincense. The priest shall turn its memorial portion into smoke on the altar, as an offering made by fire, with a pleasing aroma to the Lord. But the rest of the grain offering will belong to Aaron and his sons, a most holy part from the Lord’s gifts.

When you present a grain offering that has been baked in an oven, it shall be fine flour made into unleavened round loaves mixed with oil or unleavened wafers coated with oil.

If your offering is a grain offering prepared on a flat griddle, it shall be fine flour mixed with oil, left unleavened. Crumble it into bits and pour oil on it. It is a grain offering.

But if your offering is a grain offering made in a pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.

You may bring to the Lord a grain offering made in any of these ways. It shall be presented to the priest, who shall deliver it to the altar. The priest shall separate the memorial portion from the grain offering and send it up in smoke on the altar as an offering made by fire, with a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 10 But the rest of the grain offering shall belong to Aaron and his sons, a most holy portion from the Lord’s gifts.

11 No grain offering that you present to the Lord shall be made with yeast, because you must not send up in smoke as a gift to the Lord anything made with yeast or with honey or fruit syrup.[b] 12 You may present them as a firstfruit offering to the Lord, but they shall not be offered up on the altar as a pleasing aroma. 13 You are to season all your grain offerings with salt. You are not to leave out the salt of the covenant[c] of your God from your grain offering. On all your offerings you must offer salt.

14 If you present a grain offering of first ripe grain to the Lord, you shall present fresh, undried grain roasted with fire, crushed kernels of the fresh barley, as a grain offering of your first ripe grain.[d] 15 You are to add oil to it and place frankincense on it. It is a grain offering. 16 The priest shall turn its memorial portion into smoke (some of its crushed kernels and oil, with all of its frankincense) as an offering made by fire to the Lord.

  1. Leviticus 2:1 The Hebrew term minchah does not specifically mean a grain offering. The two Hebrew words used to refer to this offering have the more generic meanings “offering” and “gift.” But minchah has become a technical term for grain offerings.
  2. Leviticus 2:11 One Hebrew word includes both honey and fruit syrup.
  3. Leviticus 2:13 The significance of the term salt of the covenant is not explained in the Bible.
  4. Leviticus 2:14 It is not clear whether this verse refers to more than one kind of offering or to various stages of one offering. The first part of the verse refers to soft, not fully ripened barley. The second part refers to roasted grits made from the grain.

Laws for Grain Offerings

“‘When a person[a] brings a grain offering to Yahweh, his offering must be finely milled flour, and he must pour out oil on it and place frankincense on it. And he shall bring it to the sons of Aaron, the priests, and he[b] shall take his handful from its finely milled flour[c] and from its oil in addition to all its frankincense. The priest[d] shall turn its token portion into smoke on the altar as an offering made by fire, as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh. The remainder[e] of the grain offering belongs to[f] Aaron and to his sons—it is a most holy thing[g] from the offerings made by fire for[h] Yahweh.

“‘But if you bring a grain offering of something oven-baked, it must be of finely milled flour as ring-shaped unleavened bread mixed with oil or wafers of unleavened bread smeared with oil. If your offering is a grain offering baked on a[i] flat baking pan, it must be finely milled flour, unleavened bread mixed with oil; break it into pieces and pour out oil on it; it is a grain offering.

“‘If[j] your offering is a grain offering prepared in a cooking pan, it must be with finely milled flour in oil. And you shall bring the grain offering that is made from these things to Yahweh, and the offerer[k] shall bring it to the priest, and he shall bring it to the altar. And the priest shall take away from the grain offering its token portion, and he shall turn it into smoke on the altar as an offering made by fire, as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh. 10 And the remainder of the grain offering belongs to[l] Aaron and to his sons—it is a most holy thing[m] from the offerings made by fire for[n] Yahweh.

11 “‘Every grain offering you[o] bring to Yahweh must not be made of yeasted food, because you must not turn into smoke any yeast or any honey from[p] an offering made by fire for Yahweh. 12 As an offering of the choicest portion, you[q] may bring them to Yahweh, but they must not be offered on the altar as an appeasing fragrance. 13 Also all[r] of your grain offerings you must season with salt; you[s] must not omit the salt of your God’s covenant from your offering.

14 “‘And if you bring to Yahweh a grain offering of firstfruits, you must bring an ear of new grain roasted by fire, coarsely crushed ripe grain, as the grain offering of your firstfruits. 15 And you shall put oil on it and place frankincense on it; it is a grain offering. 16 The[t] priest shall turn into smoke its token portion from its coarsely crushed grain together with all of its frankincense—it is an offering made by fire for Yahweh.’”
