The Grain Offering
“‘When anyone brings a grain offering to the Lord, their offering is to be of the finest flour. They are to pour olive oil on it, put incense on it
-
The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the food offerings presented to the Lord.
-
“‘If you bring a grain offering baked in an oven, it is to consist of the finest flour: either thick loaves made without yeast and with olive oil mixed in or thin loaves made without yeast and brushed with olive oil.
-
If your grain offering is prepared on a griddle, 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, it is to be made of the finest flour and some olive oil.
-
Bring the grain offering made of these things to the Lord; present it to the priest, who shall take it to the altar.
-
He shall take out the memorial portion from the grain offering and burn it on the altar as a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
-
The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the food offerings presented to the Lord.
-
“‘Every grain offering you bring to the Lord must be made without yeast, for you are not to burn any yeast or honey in a food offering presented to the Lord.
-
Season all your grain offerings with salt. Do not leave the salt of the covenant of your God out of your grain offerings; add salt to all your offerings.
-
“‘If you bring a grain offering of firstfruits to the Lord, offer crushed heads of new grain roasted in the fire.
-
Put oil and incense on it; it is a grain offering.
-
The priest shall burn the memorial portion of the crushed grain and the oil, together with all the incense, as a food offering presented to the Lord.
-
In this way the priest will make atonement for them for any of these sins they have committed, and they will be forgiven. The rest of the offering will belong to the priest, as in the case of the grain offering.’”
-
The Grain Offering
“‘These are the regulations for the grain offering: Aaron’s sons are to bring it before the Lord, in front of the altar.
-
The priest is to take a handful of the finest flour and some olive oil, together with all the incense on the grain offering, and burn the memorial portion on the altar as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
-
“This is the offering Aaron and his sons are to bring to the Lord on the day he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah of the finest flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening.
-
It must be prepared with oil on a griddle; bring it well-mixed and present the grain offering broken in pieces as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
-
Every grain offering of a priest shall be burned completely; it must not be eaten.”
-
Every grain offering baked in an oven or cooked in a pan or on a griddle belongs to the priest who offers it,
-
and every grain offering, whether mixed with olive oil or dry, belongs equally to all the sons of Aaron.
-
These, then, are the regulations for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering and the fellowship offering,
-
and an ox and a ram for a fellowship offering to sacrifice before the Lord, together with a grain offering mixed with olive oil. For today the Lord will appear to you.’”
-
He also brought the grain offering, took a handful of it and burned it on the altar in addition to the morning’s burnt offering.
