Leviticus 2:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 Such you may present to the Lord in the offering of the first produce that is processed,(A) but they are not to be placed on the altar for a pleasing odor. 13 You shall season all your grain offerings with salt. Do not let the salt of the covenant with your God[a] be lacking from your grain offering. On every offering you shall offer salt.(B)
14 If you offer a grain offering of first ripe fruits to the Lord, you shall offer it in the form of fresh early grain, roasted by fire and crushed as a grain offering of your first ripe fruits.
