Grain Offerings

When any of you present an offering of grain to the Lord, you must first grind it into flour. You must put olive oil and incense on it and bring it to the Aaronite priests. The officiating priest shall take a handful of the flour and oil and all of the incense and burn it on the altar as a token that it has all been offered to the Lord. The odor of this food offering is pleasing to the Lord. The rest of the grain offering belongs to the priests; it is very holy, since it is taken from the food offered to the Lord.
