The Grain Offering

“When anyone presents a grain offering(A) as an offering to the Lord, it is to consist of fine flour.(B) He is to pour olive oil(C) on it, put frankincense on it,(D) and bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests. The priest will take a handful of fine flour and oil from it, along with all its frankincense, and will burn this memorial portion(E) of it on the altar, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. But the rest of the grain offering will belong to Aaron and his sons; it is the holiest part(F) of the food offerings to the Lord.

“When you present a grain offering baked in an oven, it is to be made of fine flour, either unleavened cakes(G) mixed with oil or unleavened wafers(H) coated with oil. If your offering is a grain offering prepared on a griddle,(I) it is to be unleavened bread(J) made of fine flour mixed with oil. Break it into pieces and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering. If your offering is a grain offering prepared in a pan,(K) it is to be made of fine flour with oil.
