| 1"'When a person presents a grain offering to the LORD, his offering must consist of choice wheat flour, and he must pour olive oil on it and put frankincense on it. | 1“When you present grain as an offering to the LORD, the offering must consist of choice flour. You are to pour olive oil on it, sprinkle it with frankincense, |
| 2Then he must bring it to the sons of Aaron, the priests, and the priest must scoop out from there a handful of its choice wheat flour and some of its olive oil in addition to all of its frankincense, and the priest must offer its memorial portion up in smoke on the altar--it is a gift of a soothing aroma to the LORD. | 2and bring it to Aaron’s sons, the priests. The priest will scoop out a handful of the flour moistened with oil, together with all the frankincense, and burn this representative portion on the altar. It is a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. |
| 3The remainder of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and to his sons--it is most holy from the gifts of the LORD. | 3The rest of the grain offering will then be given to Aaron and his sons. This offering will be considered a most holy part of the special gifts presented to the LORD. |
| 4"'When you present an offering of grain baked in an oven, it must be made of choice wheat flour baked into unleavened loaves mixed with olive oil or unleavened wafers smeared with olive oil. | 4“If your offering is a grain offering baked in an oven, it must be made of choice flour, but without any yeast. It may be presented in the form of thin cakes mixed with olive oil or wafers spread with olive oil. |
| 5If your offering is a grain offering made on the griddle, it must be choice wheat flour mixed with olive oil, unleavened. | 5If your grain offering is cooked on a griddle, it must be made of choice flour mixed with olive oil but without any yeast. |
| 6Crumble it in pieces and pour olive oil on it--it is a grain offering. | 6Break it in pieces and pour olive oil on it; it is a grain offering. |
| 7If your offering is a grain offering made in a pan, it must be made of choice wheat flour deep fried in olive oil. | 7If your grain offering is prepared in a pan, it must be made of choice flour and olive oil. |
| 8"'You must bring the grain offering that must be made from these to the LORD. Present it to the priest, and he will bring it to the altar. | 8“No matter how a grain offering for the LORD has been prepared, bring it to the priest, who will present it at the altar. |
| 9Then the priest must take up from the grain offering its memorial portion and offer it up in smoke on the altar--it is a gift of a soothing aroma to the LORD. | 9The priest will take a representative portion of the grain offering and burn it on the altar. It is a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. |
| 10The remainder of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and to his sons--it is most holy from the gifts of the LORD. | 10The rest of the grain offering will then be given to Aaron and his sons as their food. This offering will be considered a most holy part of the special gifts presented to the LORD. |
| 11"'No grain offering which you present to the LORD can be made with yeast, for you must not offer up in smoke any yeast or honey as a gift to the LORD. | 11“Do not use yeast in preparing any of the grain offerings you present to the LORD, because no yeast or honey may be burned as a special gift presented to the LORD. |
| 12You can present them to the LORD as an offering of first fruit, but they must not go up to the altar for a soothing aroma. | 12You may add yeast and honey to an offering of the first crops of your harvest, but these must never be offered on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the LORD. |
| 13Moreover, you must season every one of your grain offerings with salt; you must not allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be missing from your grain offering--on every one of your grain offerings you must present salt. | 13Season all your grain offerings with salt to remind you of God’s eternal covenant. Never forget to add salt to your grain offerings. |
| 14"'If you present a grain offering of first ripe grain to the LORD, you must present your grain offering of first ripe grain as soft kernels roasted in fire--crushed bits of fresh grain. | 14“If you present a grain offering to the LORD from the first portion of your harvest, bring fresh grain that is coarsely ground and roasted on a fire. |
| 15And you must put olive oil on it and set frankincense on it--it is a grain offering. | 15Put olive oil on this grain offering, and sprinkle it with frankincense. |
| 16Then the priest must offer its memorial portion up in smoke--some of its crushed bits, some of its olive oil, in addition to all of its frankincense--it is a gift to the LORD. | 16The priest will take a representative portion of the grain moistened with oil, together with all the frankincense, and burn it as a special gift presented to the LORD. |
