Laws for Grain Offerings

“‘When a person[a] brings a grain offering to Yahweh, his offering must be finely milled flour, and he must pour out oil on it and place frankincense on it. And he shall bring it to the sons of Aaron, the priests, and he[b] shall take his handful from its finely milled flour[c] and from its oil in addition to all its frankincense. The priest[d] shall turn its token portion into smoke on the altar as an offering made by fire, as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh. The remainder[e] of the grain offering belongs to[f] Aaron and to his sons—it is a most holy thing[g] from the offerings made by fire for[h] Yahweh.

“‘But if you bring a grain offering of something oven-baked, it must be of finely milled flour as ring-shaped unleavened bread mixed with oil or wafers of unleavened bread smeared with oil. If your offering is a grain offering baked on a[i] flat baking pan, it must be finely milled flour, unleavened bread mixed with oil; break it into pieces and pour out oil on it; it is a grain offering.

“‘If[j] your offering is a grain offering prepared in a cooking pan, it must be with finely milled flour in oil.
