Leviticus 2:1-6

The grain offering

1 When anyone presents a grain offering to the LORD, the offering must be of choice flour. They must pour oil on it and put frankincense on it,
2 then bring it to Aaron's sons, the priests. A priest will take a handful of its choice flour and oil, along with all of its frankincense, and will completely burn this token portion on the altar as a food gift of soothing smell to the LORD.
3 The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons as a most holy portion from the LORD's food gifts.
4 When you present a grain offering baked in an oven, it must be of choice flour: unleavened flatbread mixed with oil or unleavened wafers spread with oil.
5 If your offering is grain prepared on a griddle, it must be of choice flour mixed with oil and it must be unleavened.
6 Crumble it into pieces and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering.
