Leviticus 2

Study

   

1 And when a soul will offer an offering, a gift·​·offering to Jehovah, his offering shall be of flour; and he shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it;

2 and he shall bring it to the sons of Aaron, the priests; and he shall take·​·a·​·handful from there, his full handful from its flour, and from its oil, on all its frankincense; and the priest shall burn·​·as·​·incense the memorial of it upon the altar, a fire·​·offering, a restful smell to Jehovah:

3 and the remnant of the gift·​·offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’; it is a holy of holies of the fire·​·offerings of Jehovah.

4 And if thou offer an offering of a gift·​·offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of flour mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.

5 And if thine offering be a gift·​·offering on a griddle, it shall be unleavened flour, mixed with oil.

6 Thou shalt morsel· it ·out in morsels, and pour oil on it; it is a gift·​·offering.

7 And if thine offering be a gift·​·offering of the cooking·​·pot, it shall be made of flour with oil.

8 And thou shalt bring the gift·​·offering that is made of these things to Jehovah; and when it is offered to the priest, he shall present it to the altar.

9 And the priest shall lift·​·high from the gift·​·offering a memorial of it, and shall burn· it ·as·​·incense upon the altar; it is a fire·​·offering, a restful smell to Jehovah.

10 And the remainder of the gift·​·offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’; it is a holy of holies of the fire·​·offerings of Jehovah.

11 All the gift·​·offering, which you shall offer to Jehovah, shall not be made with leaven; for you shall not burn·​·for·​·incense any yeast, or any honey, in a fire·​·offering to Jehovah.

12 As for the offering of the firstfruits, you shall offer them to Jehovah; but they shall not be offered·​·up on the altar for a restful smell.

13 And every offering of thy gift·​·offering shalt thou salt with salt; neither shalt thou cause the salt of the covenant of thy God to cease from thy gift·​·offering; with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.

14 And if thou offer a gift·​·offering of thy firstfruits to Jehovah, thou shalt offer a gift·​·offering of thy firstfruits of maturing·​·ears, parched grain by the fire, and groats* of fresh·​·grain.

15 And thou shalt put oil on it, and set frankincense on it; it is a gift·​·offering.

16 And the priest shall burn·​·as·​·incense the memorial of it, from its groats, and from its oil, on all its frankincense; it is a fire·​·offering to Jehovah.
