Leviticus 2:2-12

2 and he shall bear it to the sons of Aaron, [the] priest(s), of the which sons one of them shall take an handful of tried wheat flour, and of oil, and all the incense; and he shall put these (as) a memorial on the altar, into the sweetest odour to the Lord. (and he shall take it to the priests, the sons of Aaron, of which priests one of them shall take a handful of the fine wheat flour, and some oil, and all the frankincense; and he shall burn this on the altar as a token of the offering, to make the sweetest aroma to the Lord.)

3 Forsooth that that is left of the sacrifice shall be Aaron's and his sons?, the holy of holy things of offerings to the Lord. (And the rest of the grain offering shall be for Aaron and his sons, a most holy thing, from the offerings to the Lord.)

4 Forsooth when thou offerest a sacrifice baken in an oven, of tried wheat flour, that is, loaves without sourdough, sprinkled with oil, and therf bread sodden in water, balmed with oil; (And if thou offerest an offering of fine wheat flour baked in an oven, it shall be cakes made without yeast, sprinkled with oil, or unleavened wafers, boiled in water, and fried in oil;)

5 if thine offering is of tried wheat flour sprinkled with oil, and without sourdough, taken of the frying pan, (if thy offering is of fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil, without any yeast, and cooked on a griddle,)

6 thou shalt part it in(to) small parts, and thou shalt pour oil thereon.

7 Else if the sacrifice is taken of the griddle, evenly the [tried] wheat flour shall be sprinkled with oil; (Or if the offering is taken from the frying pan, the fine wheat flour shall be sprinkled with oil;)

8 the which wheat flour thou shalt offer to the Lord, and thou shalt betake it in(to) the hands of the priest. And when he hath offered it,

9 he shall take a memorial of the sacrifice, and he shall burn it on the altar, into odour of sweetness to the Lord. (he shall take a token of the offering, and he shall burn it on the altar, to make the sweetest aroma to the Lord.)

10 Soothly whatever thing is left, it shall be Aaron's and his sons, the holy of holy things of the offerings to the Lord (And whatever is left, it shall be for Aaron and his sons, a most holy, or sacred, thing, from the offerings to the Lord.)

11 Each offering which is offered to the Lord, shall be without sourdough, neither anything of sourdough, and of honey, shall be burnt in the sacrifice of the Lord. (Each offering which is offered to the Lord, shall be made without yeast, yea, nothing of yeast, or of honey, shall be burned as an offering to the Lord.)

12 Ye shall offer only the first fruits of those, and gifts; soothly those shall not be put on the altar, into odour of sweetness. (Ye shall offer the first fruits of your grain each year to the Lord; but they shall not be put on the altar, to make the sweetest aroma to the Lord.)
