Context of Leviticus 2:4

2And he shall bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests: and he shall take from it his handful of its flour, and of its oil, with all of its frankincense; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD: 3And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire. And if thou shalt bring an oblation of a meat offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. 5And if thy oblation shall be a meat offering baked in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mixed with oil. 6Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil on it: it is a meat offering.
