Leviticus 2:1-7

1“ ‘When anyone brings a grain offering to the Lord, their offering is to be of the finest flour. They are to pour olive oil on it, put incense on it

2and take it to Aaron’s sons the priests. The priest shall take a handful of the flour and oil, together with all the incense, and burn this as a memorial portion on the altar, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.

3The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the food offerings presented to the Lord.

4“ ‘If you bring a grain offering baked in an oven, it is to consist of the finest flour: either thick loaves made without yeast and with olive oil mixed in or thin loaves made without yeast and brushed with olive oil.

5If your grain offering is prepared on a griddle, it is to be made of the finest flour mixed with oil, and without yeast.

6Crumble it and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering.

7If your grain offering is cooked in a pan, it is to be made of the finest flour and some olive oil.
