• Lev 2:1-9 : 1 When anyone presents a grain offering to the LORD, their offering is to be of fine flour. They are to pour oil on it and put frankincense on it. 2 They are to bring it to Aaron's sons, the priests. One of the priests will take a handful of the flour and oil, together with all the frankincense, and burn this as a memorial portion on the altar, an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. 3 The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the offerings made by fire to the LORD. 4 If you bring a grain offering baked in an oven, it is to consist of fine flour: either loaves made without yeast and mixed with oil or wafers made without yeast and spread with oil. 5 If your grain offering is prepared on a griddle, it is to be made of fine flour mixed with oil and without yeast. 6 Crumble it into pieces and pour oil over it; it is a grain offering. 7 If your grain offering is cooked in a pan, it is to be made of fine flour and oil. 8 Bring the grain offering made from these things to the LORD. Present it to the priest, who shall take it to the altar. 9 The priest shall take a portion of the grain offering as its memorial portion and burn it on the altar. It is an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. 10 The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the offerings made by fire to the LORD. 11 Every grain offering you bring to the LORD must be made without yeast, for you are not to burn any yeast or honey as an offering made by fire to the LORD. 12 You may bring them to the LORD as an offering of firstfruits, but they are not to be offered on the altar as a pleasing aroma. 13 Season all your grain offerings with salt. Do not leave the salt of the covenant of your God out of your grain offerings; add salt to all your offerings. 14 If you bring a grain offering of firstfruits to the LORD, offer crushed heads of new grain roasted in the fire. 15 Put oil and frankincense on it; it is a grain offering. 16 The priest shall burn a memorial portion of the crushed grain and oil, along with all its frankincense, as an offering made by fire to the LORD.

• Num 15:4-9 : 4 then the one who presents their offering shall also present to the Lord a grain offering of fine flour mixed with a fourth of a hin of oil. 5 Along with the burnt offering or for the sacrifice of a lamb, you shall prepare a fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering. 6 If the offering is for a ram, you shall prepare a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a third of a hin of oil, 7 and a third of a hin of wine as the drink offering. This will be a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 8 When you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or a sacrifice, whether to fulfill a vow or as a peace offering to the Lord, 9 you shall present with the young bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil. 10 You shall also offer half a hin of wine as a drink offering. It will be an offering by fire, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 11 This is how it will be done for each bull, each ram, each lamb, or goat. 12 Do these instructions according to the number of animals you prepare—one for each. 13 Every native-born Israelite must do these things in this prescribed way when presenting an offering by fire, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 14 When a foreigner resides with you or someone living among you throughout your generations, and they want to present a fire offering with a pleasing aroma to the Lord, they must do as you do. 15 The same law applies to the congregation and the foreigner residing among you. It is a perpetual statute for your future generations. You and the foreigner shall be the same before the Lord. 16 The same instructions and the same rulings will apply for both you and the foreigner residing with you. 17 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 18 Speak to the Israelites and say to them: When you come into the land to which I am bringing you, 19 and you eat the bread of the land, you shall present an offering to the Lord. 20 You must bring the first portion of your dough as an offering to the Lord, like the contribution from the threshing floor, so you shall offer it. 21 From the first of your dough, you shall give a contribution to the Lord for all your generations. 22 If you unintentionally fail to follow any of these commands that the Lord has instructed to Moses— 23 everything the Lord has commanded you through Moses, from the day the Lord commanded them onward, throughout your generations— 24 then if this occurs unintentionally and it was hidden from the community's view, the entire community shall present a young bull as a burnt offering with a pleasing aroma to the Lord, along with its grain offering, drink offering, and a male goat as a sin offering. 25 The priest shall make atonement for the whole community of the Israelites, and they will be forgiven because it was unintentional. They shall bring their offering, a fire offering to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord for their sin of ignorance. 26 The entire community of the Israelites and the foreigners residing among them will be forgiven, because all the people sinned unintentionally. 27 If a single person sins unintentionally, they must present a one-year-old female goat as a sin offering. 28 The priest will make atonement before the Lord for the person who sinned unintentionally. When atonement is made, they will be forgiven. 29 The same law applies to both the native-born Israelites and the foreigner who lives among them for anyone who sins unintentionally. 30 But anyone who sins defiantly, whether native-born or a foreigner, is blaspheming the Lord and must be cut off from their people. 31 Because they have despised the word of the Lord and broken His commandment, they must be cut off completely. Their guilt remains on them.

This is a burnt offering of a pleasing aroma, a fire offering to the LORD. 14 Their drink offerings are to be half a hin of wine for each bull, a third of a hin for each ram, and a quarter of a hin for each lamb. This is the monthly burnt offering to be made at each new moon throughout the year. 15 In addition to the regular burnt offering with its drink offering, one male goat is to be presented to the LORD as a sin offering. 16 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is the Passover to the LORD. 17 On the fifteenth day of this month there is to be a festival.

You must not do any regular work. 26 On the day of firstfruits, when you bring a new grain offering to the LORD during the Feast of Weeks, hold a sacred assembly.
