Leviticus 2:1-7

1 When any one shall offer an oblation of sacrifice to the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour: and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense,
2 And shall bring it to the sons of Aaron the priests. And one of them shall take a handful of the flour and oil, and all the frankincense; and shall put it a memorial upon the altar for a most sweet savour to the Lord.
3 And the remnant of the sacrifice shall be Aaron’s, and his sons’, holy of holies of the offerings of the Lord.
4 But when thou offerest a sacrifice baked in the oven of flour, to wit, loaves without leaven, tempered with oil, and unleavened wafers, anointed with oil:
5 If thy oblation be from the fryingpan, of flour tempered with oil, and without leaven:
6 Thou shalt divide it into little pieces, and shalt pour oil upon it.
7 And if the sacrifice be from the gridiron, in like manner the flour shall be tempered with oil.
