NEW JERUSALEMKING JAMES BIBLE
1 ' "If anyone offers Yahweh a cereal offering, his offering must consist of wheaten flour on which he mustpour wine and put incense.1 And when any will offer a meat offering unto the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:
2 He wil bring it to the priests descended from Aaron; he wil take a handful of the wheaten flour, some ofthe oil and al the incense, and this the priest wil burn on the altar as a memorial, as food burnt as a smelpleasing to Yahweh.2 And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD:
3 The remainder of the cereal offering wil revert to Aaron and his sons, an especially holy portion of thefood burnt for Yahweh.3 And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
4 "When you offer a cereal offering of dough baked in the oven, the wheaten flour must be preparedeither in the form of unleavened cakes mixed with oil, or in the form of unleavened wafers spread with oil.4 And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.
5 "If your offering is a cereal offering cooked on the griddle, the wheaten flour mixed with oil must containno leaven.5 And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.
6 You wil break it in pieces and pour oil over it. It is a cereal offering.6 Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a meat offering.
7 "If your offering is a cereal offering cooked in the pan, the wheaten flour must be prepared with oil.7 And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in the fryingpan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.
8 "You wil bring Yahweh the cereal offering thus prepared and present it to the priest; he wil take it to thealtar.8 And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto the LORD: and when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the altar.
9 And from the cereal offering the priest will take the memorial and burn it on the altar, food burnt as asmel pleasing to Yahweh.9 And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
10 The remainder of the cereal offering wil revert to Aaron and his descendants: it is especial y holy sinceit is taken from the food burnt for Yahweh.10 And that which is left of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
11 "None of the cereal offerings which you offer to Yahweh must be prepared with leaven, for you mustnever include leaven or honey in food burnt for Yahweh.11 No meat offering, which ye shall bring unto the LORD, shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the LORD made by fire.
12 You may offer them to Yahweh as an offering of first-fruits, but they wil not make a pleasing smel ifthey are burnt on the altar.12 As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto the LORD: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour.
13 You will put salt in every cereal offering that you offer, and you will not fail to put the salt of thecovenant of your God on your cereal offering; to every offering you wil add an offering of salt to your God.13 And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.
14 If you offer Yahweh a cereal offering of first-fruits, you wil offer it in the form of roasted ears of wheator of bread made from ground wheat.14 And if thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the LORD, thou shalt offer for the meat offering of thy firstfruits green ears of corn dried by the fire, even corn beaten out of full ears.
15 You will add oil to it and put incense on it; it is a cereal offering;15 And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meat offering.
16 and from it the priest wil burn the memorial with some bread and oil (and all the incense) as food burntfor Yahweh." '16 And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the beaten corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
