Leviticus 2 — Context

8

And you are to give the meal offering made of these things to the Lord, and let the priest take it to the altar.

9

And he is to take from the meal offering a part, for a sign, burning it on the altar; an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.

10

And the rest of the meal offering will be for Aaron and his sons; it is most holy among the Lord's fire offerings.

11

No meal offering which you give to the Lord is to be made with leaven; no leaven or honey is to be burned as an offering made by fire to the Lord.

12

You may give them as an offering of first-fruits to the Lord, but they are not to go up as a sweet smell on the altar.

13

And every meal offering is to be salted with salt; your meal offering is not to be without the salt of the agreement of your God: with all your offerings give salt.

14

And if you give a meal offering of first-fruits to the Lord, give, as your offering of first-fruits, new grain, made dry with fire, crushed new grain.
