Leviticus 2:1-7

1 And if a soul bring a gift, a sacrifice to the Lord, his gift shall be fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and shall put frankincense on it: it is a sacrifice.

2 And he shall bring it to the priests the sons of Aaron: and having taken from it a handful of the fine flour with the oil, and all its frankincense, then the priest shall put the memorial of it on the altar: a sacrifice, an odour of sweet savour to the Lord.

3 And the remainder of the sacrifice shall be for Aaron and his sons, a most holy portion from the sacrifices of the Lord.

4 And if he bring as a gift a sacrifice baked from the oven, a gift to the Lord of fine flour, unleavened bread kneaded with oil, and unleavened cakes anointed with oil.

5 And if thy gift a sacrifice from a pan, it is fine flour mingled with oil, unleavened .

6 And thou shalt break them into fragments and pour oil upon them: it is a sacrifice to the Lord.

7 And if thy gift be a sacrifice from the hearth, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.
