Leviticus 2:1-3:17

¹“When anyone brings a grain offering to the LORD, his offering must consist of fine flour. He is to pour olive oil on it, put frankincense on it,

²and bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests. The priest shall take a handful of the flour and oil, together with all the frankincense, and burn this as a memorial portion on the altar, an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

³The remainder of the grain offering shall belong to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the offerings made by fire to the LORD.

⁴Now if you bring an offering of grain baked in an oven, it must consist of fine flour, either unleavened cakes mixed with oil or unleavened wafers coated with oil.

⁵If your offering is a grain offering prepared on a griddle, it must be unleavened bread made of fine flour mixed with oil.

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

⁷If your offering is a grain offering cooked in a pan, it must consist of fine flour with oil.

⁸When you bring to the LORD the grain offering made in any of these ways, it is to be presented to the priest, and he shall take it to the altar.

⁹The priest is to remove the memorial portion from the grain offering and burn it on the altar as an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

¹⁰But the remainder of the grain offering shall belong to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the offerings made by fire to the LORD.

¹¹No grain offering that you present to the LORD may be made with leaven, for you are not to burn any leaven or honey as an offering made by fire to the LORD.

¹²You may bring them to the LORD as an offering of firstfruits, but they are not to be offered on the altar as a pleasing aroma.

¹³And you shall season each of your grain offerings with salt. You must not leave the salt of the covenant of your God out of your grain offering; you are to add salt to each of your offerings.

¹⁴If you bring a grain offering of firstfruits to the LORD, you shall offer crushed heads of new grain roasted on the fire.

¹⁵And you are to put oil and frankincense on it; it is a grain offering.

¹⁶The priest shall then burn the memorial portion of the crushed grain and the oil, together with all its frankincense, as an offering made by fire to the LORD.

¹“If one’s offering is a peace offering and he offers an animal from the herd, whether male or female, he must present it without blemish before the LORD.

²He is to lay his hand on the head of the offering and slaughter it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. Then Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood on all sides of the altar.

³From the peace offering he is to bring an offering made by fire to the LORD: the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them,

⁴both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys.

⁵Then Aaron’s sons are to burn it on the altar atop the burnt offering that is on the burning wood, as an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

⁶If, however, one’s peace offering to the LORD is from the flock, he must present a male or female without blemish.

⁷If he is presenting a lamb for his offering, he must present it before the LORD.

⁸He is to lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it in front of the Tent of Meeting. Then Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle its blood on all sides of the altar.

⁹And from the peace offering he shall bring an offering made by fire to the LORD consisting of its fat: the entire fat tail cut off close to the backbone, the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them,

¹⁰both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys.

¹¹Then the priest is to burn them on the altar as food, an offering made by fire to the LORD.

¹²If one’s offering is a goat, he is to present it before the LORD.

¹³He must lay his hand on its head and slaughter it in front of the Tent of Meeting. Then Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle its blood on all sides of the altar.

¹⁴And from his offering he shall present an offering made by fire to the LORD: the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them,

¹⁵both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys.

¹⁶Then the priest is to burn the food on the altar as an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma. All the fat is the LORD’s.

¹⁷This is a permanent statute for the generations to come, wherever you live: You must not eat any fat or any blood.”
