Leviticus 2 — Context

And when anyone makes a meal offering to the Lord, let his offering be of the best meal, with oil on it and perfume:

And let him take it to Aaron's sons, the priests; and having taken in his hand some of the meal and of the oil, with all the perfume, let him give it to the priest to be burned on the altar, as a sign, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord.

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

And when you give a meal offering cooked in the oven, let it be of unleavened cakes of the best meal mixed with oil, or thin unleavened cakes covered with oil.
