BSB BSB: “When anyone brings a grain offering to the LORD, his offering must consist of fine flour. He is to pour olive oil on it, put frankincense on it,
2 ARST You should bring the offering of wheat flour to Aaron’ s sons, the priests. A priest should scoop out of your offering a handful of the flour and olive oil, as well as all the incense— as large a handful as he is able to scoop. Then, the priest should burn the portion of your offering that he scooped out with his hand, doing it in a way that causes smoke to go up on the altar. When this happens, Yahweh will consider it to be a gift, and he will enjoy the smell of the smoke of the offering. BSB BSB: and bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests. The priest shall take a handful of the flour and oil, together with all the frankincense, and burn this as a memorial portion on the altar, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
3 ARST The rest of the wheat flour that you offer, as a sacrifice to Yahweh, you should preserve for Aaron and his sons. You should consider this portion of the offering as especially set apart for the priests among all the gifts that you offer to Yahweh and that are set apart for him. BSB BSB: The remainder of the grain offering shall belong to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the food offerings to the LORD.
4 ARST But if you want to offer grain offering that consists of something that you baked in an oven, you should offer wheat flour that you mixed with olive oil into unleavened cakes. Or you could offer wheat flour that you shaped into unleavened crackers and coated with olive oil. BSB BSB: Now if you bring an offering of grain baked in an oven, it must consist of fine flour, either unleavened cakes mixed with oil or unleavened wafers coated with oil.
5 ARST But if your grain offering consists of something that you pan- fried on a griddle, you should offer wheat flour that you mixed with olive oil into unleavened bread. BSB BSB: If your offering is a grain offering prepared on a griddle, it must be unleavened bread made of fine flour mixed with oil.
6 ARST You should break the offering into pieces and pour out some olive oil onto it. These actions qualify the offering as a grain offering. BSB BSB: Crumble it and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering.

8 ARST In any case, you should bring to Yahweh the grain offering that you have made in this way with these ingredients. You should present the offering to the priest. He will bring it to the altar. BSB BSB: When you bring to the LORD the grain offering made in any of these ways, it is to be presented to the priest, and he shall take it to the altar.
9 ARST There he should lift out from the grain offering the portion that he will burn. Then he should burn that handful on the altar in a way that causes smoke to go up.

BSB BSB: The priest is to remove the memorial portion from the grain offering and burn it on the altar as a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
10 ARST The rest of the grain offering you should preserve for Aaron and his sons.

BSB BSB: But the remainder of the grain offering shall belong to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the food offerings to the LORD.
11 ARST You should not burn any gift to Yahweh that contains any yeast or any honey on the altar in a way that causes smoke to go up. Make sure that whenever you offer a grain offering to Yahweh, you have prepared it without using yeast. BSB BSB: No grain offering that you present to the LORD may be made with leaven, for you are not to burn any leaven or honey as a food offering to the LORD.
12 ARST Any offerings to Yahweh that contain yeast or honey you should offer as a presentation of the produce of the field that has been harvested first. But do not burn these kinds of grain offerings on the altar so that they go up to Yahweh as pleasant- smelling smoke. BSB BSB: You may bring them to the LORD as an offering of firstfruits, but they must not go up on the altar as a pleasing aroma.
13 ARST Likewise, you should season every grain offering with salt. You should never present a grain offering without the salt, which reminds you of Yahweh' s promises to you. Every grain offering should contain salt that you have also presented to Yahweh. BSB BSB: And you shall season each of your grain offerings with salt. You must not leave the salt of the covenant of your God out of your grain offering; you are to add salt to each of your offerings.
14 ARST But if you want to offer to Yahweh a grain offering that consists of the first harvest of ripened grains, do this. Offer the first ripe grains that you harvest, ears of grain in the early stage of ripening that you have roasted over a fire, that is, grains from freshly ripened ears of grain that you have crushed. BSB BSB: If you bring a grain offering of firstfruits to the LORD, you shall offer crushed heads of new grain roasted on the fire.
15 ARST You should pour out some olive oil on these kinds of offerings and you should place incense on them. These kinds of offerings also qualify as grain offerings. BSB BSB: And you are to put oil and frankincense on it; it is a grain offering.
16 ARST The priest should burn the portion of the offering that he scooped out with his handful— the crushed grains and the olive oil, as well as all of the incense— in a way that causes smoke to go up. When this happens, Yahweh will consider the offering to be a gift. BSB BSB: The priest shall then burn the memorial portion of the crushed grain and the oil, together with all its frankincense, as a food offering to the LORD.
