Leviticus Chapter 2

From The Open Bible Project

2:1 "'When anyone offers an offering of a meal offering to Yahweh, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it.

  • (a) Because the burnt offering could not be without the meat offering.

2:2 He shall bring it to Aaron's sons, the priests; and he shall take his handful of its fine flour, and of its oil, with all its frankincense; and the priest shall burn its memorial on the altar, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

  • (b) The priest.
  • (c) To signify that God remembers him that offers.

2:3 That which is left of the meal offering shall be Aaron's and his sons'. It is a most holy thing of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire.

  • (d) Therefore no one could eat of it but the priest.

2:4 "'When you offer an offering of a meal offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.

2:5 If your offering is a meal offering of the griddle, it shall be of unleavened fine flour, mixed with oil.

  • (e) Which is a gift offered to God to pacify him.

2:6 You shall cut it in pieces, and pour oil on it. It is a meal offering.

2:7 If your offering is a meal offering of the pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.

2:8 You shall bring the meal offering that is made of these things to Yahweh: and it shall be presented to the priest, and he shall bring it to the altar.

2:9 The priest shall take from the meal offering its memorial, and shall burn it on the altar, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

2:10 That which is left of the meal offering shall be Aaron's and his sons'. It is a thing most holy of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire.

2:11 "'No meal offering, which you shall offer to Yahweh, shall be made with yeast; for you shall burn no yeast, nor any honey, as an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

2:12 As an offering of firstfruits you shall offer them to Yahweh: but they shall not ascend for a pleasant aroma on the altar.

  • (f) That is, fruits which were sweet as honey, ye may offer.
  • (g) But reserved for the priests.

2:13 Every offering of your meal offering you shall season with salt; neither shall you allow the salt of the covenant of your [2] God [See Leviticus Footnotes 2] to be lacking from your meal offering. With all your offerings you shall offer salt.

2:14 "'If you offer a meal offering of first fruits to Yahweh, you shall offer for the meal offering of your first fruits grain in the ear parched with fire, bruised grain of the fresh ear.

2:15 You shall put oil on it, and lay frankincense on it: it is a meal offering.

2:16 The priest shall burn as its memorial, part of its bruised grain, and part of its oil, along with all its frankincense: it is an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
