Leviticus 2:8-16

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.)

13 Whatever thing of sacrifice thou shalt offer, thou shalt make it savory with salt, neither thou shalt take away the salt of the bond of peace of thy God from thy sacrifice; in each offering thou shalt offer salt. (With every grain offering that thou shalt offer, thou shalt make it savoury with salt, yea, thou shalt not fail to offer salt with thy grain offering, for it representeth the covenant with thy God; with every offering thou shalt offer salt.)

14 Forsooth if thou offerest a gift of the first things of thy fruits to the Lord, of ears of corn yet green, thou shalt scorch, or singe, them in fire, and thou shalt break them in the manner of bruised corn; and so thou shalt offer thy first fruits to the Lord,

15 and thou shalt pour oil thereupon, and thou shalt put incense, for it is the offering of the Lord. (and thou shalt pour oil on it, and thou shall put frankincense on it, for it is a grain offering to the Lord.)

16 Of which the priest shall burn, into mind of the gift, a part of the bruised corn, and of the oil, and all the incense. (Of which the priest shall burn, as a token of the offering, some of the bruised corn, some of the oil, and all of the frankincense.)
