King James Version KJV
Good News Translation GNT
1 And when any will offer a meat offering unto the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:
1
When any of you present an offering of grain to the Lord, you must first grind it into flour. You must put olive oil and incense on it
2 And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD:
2
and bring it to the Aaronite priests. The officiating priest shall take a handful of the flour and oil and all of the incense and burn it on the altar as a token that it has all been offered to the Lord. The odor of this food offering is pleasing to the Lord.
3 And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
3
The rest of the grain offering belongs to the priests; it is very holy, since it is taken from the food offered to the Lord.
4 And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.
4
If the offering is bread baked in an oven, it must be made without yeast. It may be thick loaves made of flour mixed with olive oil or thin cakes brushed with olive oil.
5 And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.
5
If the offering is bread cooked on a griddle, it is to be made of flour mixed with olive oil but without yeast.
6 Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a meat offering.
6
Crumble it up and pour the oil on it when you present it as an offering.
7 And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in the fryingpan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.
7
If the offering is bread cooked in a pan, it is to be made of flour and olive oil.
8 And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto the LORD: and when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the altar.
8
Bring it as an offering to the Lord and present it to the priest, who will take it to the altar.
9 And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
9
The priest will take part of it as a token that it has all been offered to the Lord, and he will burn it on the altar. The odor of this food offering is pleasing to the Lord.
10 And that which is left of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
10
The rest of the offering belongs to the priests; it is very holy, since it is taken from the food offered to the Lord.
11 No meat offering, which ye shall bring unto the LORD, shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the LORD made by fire.
11
None of the grain offerings which you present to the Lord may be made with yeast; you must never use yeast or honey in food offered to the Lord.
12 As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto the LORD: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour.
12
An offering of the first grain that you harvest each year shall be brought to the Lord, but it is not to be burned on the altar.
13 And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.
13
Put salt on every grain offering, because salt represents the covenant between you and God. (You must put salt on all your offerings.)
14 And if thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the LORD, thou shalt offer for the meat offering of thy firstfruits green ears of corn dried by the fire, even corn beaten out of full ears.
14
When you bring to the Lord an offering of the first grain harvested, offer roasted grain or ground meal.
15 And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meat offering.
15
Add olive oil and put incense on it.
16 And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the beaten corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
16
The priest will burn that part of the meal and oil that is to serve as a token, and also all the incense, as a food offering to the Lord.
