Leviticus 2:8-16

8 "Bring the Grain-Offering you make from these ingredients and present it to the priest. He will bring it to the Altar,

9 break off a memorial piece from the Grain-Offering, and burn it on the Altar: a Fire-Gift, a pleasing fragrance to God.

10 The rest of the Grain-Offering is for Aaron and his sons - a most holy part of the gifts to God.

11 "All the Grain-Offerings that you present to God must be made without yeast; you must never burn any yeast or honey as a Fire-Gift to God.

12 You may offer them to God as an offering of firstfruits but not on the Altar as a pleasing fragrance.

13 Season every presentation of your Grain-Offering with salt. Don't leave the salt of the covenant with your God out of your Grain-Offerings. Present all your offerings with salt.

14 "If you present a Grain-Offering of firstfruits to God, bring crushed heads of the new grain roasted.

15 Put oil and incense on it - it's a Grain-Offering.

16 The priest will burn some of the mixed grain and oil with all the incense as a memorial - a Fire-Gift to God.
