Laws for Grain Offerings

2 “When anyone brings a ^(A)grain offering as an offering to the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour. ^(B)He shall pour oil on it and put frankincense on it ² and bring it to Aaron's sons the priests. And he shall take from it a handful of the fine flour and oil, with all of its frankincense, and the priest shall burn this as its ^(C)memorial portion on the altar, a food ^(D)offering with a pleasing aroma to the Lord. ³ But the ^(E)rest of the grain offering shall be for Aaron and his sons; ^(F)it is a most holy part of the Lord's food offerings.

⁴ “When you bring a grain offering baked in the oven as an offering, it shall be ^(G)unleavened loaves of fine flour mixed with oil or unleavened wafers smeared with oil. ⁵ And if your offering is a grain offering ^(H)baked on a griddle, 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 And if your offering is a grain offering cooked in a pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. ⁸ And 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 And the priest shall take from the grain offering its memorial portion and burn this on the altar, a food ^(I)offering with a ^(J)pleasing aroma to the Lord. ¹⁰ But the ^(K)rest of the grain offering shall be for Aaron and his sons; ^(L)it is a most holy part of the Lord's food offerings.

¹¹ “No grain offering that you bring to the Lord shall be made with ^(M)leaven, for you shall burn no leaven nor any honey as a food offering to the Lord. ^12 (N)As an offering of firstfruits you may bring them to the Lord, but they shall not be offered on the altar for a pleasing aroma. ¹³ You ^(O)shall season all your grain offerings with salt. You shall not let the ^(P)salt of the covenant with your God be missing from your grain offering; ^(Q)with all your offerings you shall offer salt.

¹⁴ “If you offer a grain offering of firstfruits to the Lord, you shall offer for the grain offering of your firstfruits fresh ^(R)ears, roasted with fire, crushed new grain. ¹⁵ And ^(S)you shall put oil on it and lay frankincense on it; it is a grain offering. ¹⁶ And the priest shall burn as its ^(T)memorial portion some of the crushed grain and some of the oil with all of its frankincense; it is a food offering to the Lord.

¹⁴ “And this is the law of ^(A)the grain offering. The sons of Aaron shall offer it before the Lord in front of the altar. ¹⁵ And one shall take from it a handful of the fine flour of the grain offering and its oil and all the frankincense that is on the grain offering and burn this as its ^(B)memorial portion on the altar, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. ¹⁶ And ^(C)the rest of it Aaron and his sons shall eat. It shall be eaten unleavened ^(D)in a holy place. In the court of the tent of meeting they shall eat it. ^17 (E)It shall not be baked with leaven. ^(F)I have given it as their portion of my food offerings. ^(G)It is a thing most holy, like the sin offering and the guilt offering. ¹⁸ Every male among the children of Aaron may eat of it, as decreed forever throughout your generations, from the Lord's food offerings. Whatever touches them shall become holy.”

¹⁹ The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ^20 (H)“This is the offering that Aaron and his sons shall offer to the Lord on the day when he is anointed: a ^(I)tenth of an ephah^[a] of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening. ²¹ It shall be made with oil ^(J)on a griddle. You shall bring it ^(K)well mixed, in baked^[b] pieces like a grain offering, and offer it for a pleasing aroma to the Lord. ²² The priest from among Aaron's sons, who is anointed to succeed him, shall offer it to the Lord as decreed forever. ^(L)The whole of it shall be burned. ²³ Every grain offering of a priest shall be wholly burned. It shall not be eaten.”
