Leviticus 2:12

12 You can present those as first-choice offerings to the LORD, but they must not be entirely burned up on the altar as a soothing smell.

Leviticus 2:12 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 2:12

As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer
them unto the Lord
Or "in" or "with the oblation", as some render it; that is, along with the oblation of the firstfruits leaven and honey might be offered: the Arabic version is very express, "but for a sacrifice of firstfruits ye" shall offer both to God; as they might be, as before observed; so the Targum of Jonathan,

``for the leavened bread of the firstfruits shall be offered, and dates in the time of the firstfruits; the fruits with their honey shall be offered, and the priest shall eat them:''

but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour;
which they could not make, and besides were to be the portion of the priests.

Leviticus 2:12 In-Context

10 The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons as a most holy portion from the LORD's food gifts.

11 No grain offering that you give to the LORD can be made with yeast. You must not completely burn any yeast or honey as a food gift for the LORD.

12 You can present those as first-choice offerings to the LORD, but they must not be entirely burned up on the altar as a soothing smell.

13 You must season all your grain offerings with salt. Do not omit the salt of your God's covenant from your grain offering. You must offer salt with all your offerings.

14 If you present a grain offering to the LORD from the first produce, you must make such an offering from the crushed heads of newly ripe grain, roasted with fire.
