Leviticus 2:11-16

11 Ye shall not leaven any sacrifice which ye shall bring to the Lord; for any leaven, or any honey, ye shall not bring of it to offer a gift to the Lord.

12 Ye shall bring them in the way of fruits to the Lord, but they shall not be offered on the altar for a sweet-smelling savour to the Lord.

13 And every gift of your sacrifice shall be seasoned with salt; omit not the salt of the covenant of the Lord from your sacrifices: on every gift of yours ye shall offer salt to the Lord your God.

14 And if thou wouldest offer a sacrifice of first-fruits to the Lord, new grains ground roasted for the Lord; so shalt thou bring the sacrifice of the first-fruits.

15 And thou shalt pour oil upon it, and shalt put frankincense on it: it is a sacrifice.

16 And the priest shall offer the memorial of it from the grains with the oil, and all its frankincense: it is a burnt-offering to the Lord.
