Leviticus 2

NEW JERUSALEM	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ' "If anyone offers Yahweh a cereal offering, his offering must consist of wheaten flour on which he mustpour wine and put incense.	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 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 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 remainder of the cereal offering wil revert to Aaron and his sons, an especially holy portion of thefood burnt for Yahweh.	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 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 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 your offering is a cereal offering cooked on the griddle, the wheaten flour mixed with oil must containno leaven.	5 if your oblation will be from the frying pan, of flour tempered with oil and without leaven,
6 You wil break it in pieces and pour oil over it. It is a cereal offering.	6 you shall divide it into little pieces and pour oil over it.
7 "If your offering is a cereal offering cooked in the pan, the wheaten flour must be prepared with oil.	7 But if the sacrifice will be from the oven grating, equally the fine wheat flour shall be sprinkled 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 When you are offering it to the Lord, you shall deliver it into the hands of the priest.
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 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 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 But whatever is left shall be for Aaron and his sons, the Holy of holies from the oblations of the Lord.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 You will add oil to it and put incense on it; it is a cereal offering;	15 pouring oil over it, and imposing frankincense, because it is an oblation of the Lord.
16 and from it the priest wil burn the memorial with some bread and oil (and all the incense) as food burntfor Yahweh." '	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.
