Leviticus 2:11-16

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 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 Put salt on every grain offering, because salt represents the covenant between you and God. (You must put salt on all your offerings.)

14 When you bring to the Lord an offering of the first grain harvested, offer roasted grain or ground meal.

15 Add olive oil and put incense on it.

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.
