Leviticus 2

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 "When anyone wishes to bring a cereal offering to the LORD, his offering must consist of fine flour. He shall pour oil on it and put frankincense over it.	1 When a soul will offer an oblation of sacrifice to the Lord, his oblation shall be of fine wheat flour, and he shall pour oil over it, and he shall set down frankincense,
2 When he has brought it to Aaron's sons, the priests, one of them shall take a handful of this fine flour and oil, together with all the frankincense, and this he shall burn on the altar as a token offering, a sweet-smelling oblation to the LORD.	2 and he shall bring it to the sons of Aaron, the priests. One of them shall take a handful of the flour with oil, as well as all the frankincense, and he shall place it as a memorial upon the altar, as a most sweet odor to the Lord.
3 The rest of the cereal offering belongs to Aaron and his sons. It is a most sacred oblation to the LORD.	3 Then what will remain of the sacrifice shall be for Aaron and his sons, the Holy of holies from the oblations of the Lord.
4 "When the cereal offering you present is baked in an oven, it must be in the form of unleavened cakes made of fine flour mixed with oil, or of unleavened wafers spread with oil.	4 But when you will offer a sacrifice baked in the oven from fine wheat flour, specifically: loaves without leaven, sprinkled with oil, and unleavened wafers, rubbed with oil:
5 If you present a cereal offering that is fried on a griddle, it must be of fine flour mixed with oil and unleavened.	5 if your oblation will be from the frying pan, of flour tempered with oil and without leaven,
6 Such a cereal offering must be broken into pieces, and oil must be poured over it.	6 you shall divide it into little pieces and pour oil over it.
7 If you present a cereal offering that is prepared in a pot, it must be of fine flour, deep-fried in oil.	7 But if the sacrifice will be from the oven grating, equally the fine wheat flour shall be sprinkled with oil.
8 A cereal offering that is made in any of these ways you shall bring to the LORD, offering it to the priest, who shall take it to the altar.	8 When you are offering it to the Lord, you shall deliver it into the hands of the priest.
9 Its token offering the priest shall then lift from the cereal offering and burn on the altar as a sweet-smelling oblation to the LORD.	9 And when he has offered it, he shall take a memorial from the sacrifice and burn it upon the altar as a sweet odor to the Lord.
10 The rest of the cereal offering belongs to Aaron and his sons. It is a most sacred oblation to the LORD.	10 But whatever is left shall be for Aaron and his sons, the Holy of holies from the oblations of the Lord.
11 "Every cereal offering that you present to the LORD shall be unleavened, for you shall not burn any leaven or honey as an oblation to the LORD.	11 Every oblation that is offered to the Lord shall be made without leaven; neither shall any leaven or honey be burned with the sacrifice to the Lord.
12 Such you may indeed present to the LORD in the offering of first fruits, but they are not to be placed on the altar for a pleasing odor.	12 You shall offer only the first-fruits of these along with the gifts. Yet truly, these shall not be placed upon the altar as an odor of sweetness.
13 However, every cereal offering that you present to the LORD shall be seasoned with salt. Do not let the salt of the covenant of your God be lacking from your cereal offering. On every offering you shall offer salt.	13 Whatever sacrifice you will offer, you shall season it with salt; neither shall you take away the salt of the covenant of your God from your sacrifice. In all your oblations, you shall offer salt.
14 "If you present a cereal offering of first fruits to the LORD, you shall offer it in the form of fresh grits of new ears of grain, roasted by fire.	14 But if you will offer a gift of the first-fruits of your grain to the Lord, from ears of grain still green, you shall parch it at the fire, and break it open in the manner of meal. And so shall you offer your first-fruits to the Lord:
15 On this cereal offering you shall put oil and frankincense.	15 pouring oil over it, and imposing frankincense, because it is an oblation of the Lord.
16 For its token offering the priest shall then burn some of the grits and oil, together with all the frankincense, as an oblation to the LORD.	16 From this, the priest shall burn, as a memorial of the gift, a portion of the cracked grain and the oil, as well as all of the frankincense.
