Leviticus 2:1-7 New English Translation (NET)

1. “‘When a person presents a grain offering to the Lord, his offering must consist of choice wheat flour, and he must pour olive oil on it and put frankincense on it.

2. Then he must bring it to the sons of Aaron, the priests, and the priest must scoop out from there a handful of its choice wheat flour and some of its olive oil in addition to all of its frankincense, and the priest must offer its memorial portion up in smoke on the altar – it is a gift of a soothing aroma to the Lord.

3. The remainder of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and to his sons – it is most holy from the gifts of the Lord.

4. “‘When you present an offering of grain baked in an oven, it must be made of choice wheat flour baked into unleavened loaves mixed with olive oil or unleavened wafers smeared with olive oil.

5. If your offering is a grain offering made on the griddle, it must be choice wheat flour mixed with olive oil, unleavened.

6. Crumble it in pieces and pour olive oil on it – it is a grain offering.

7. If your offering is a grain offering made in a pan, it must be made of choice wheat flour deep fried in olive oil.
