Laws for Grain Offerings

“‘When a person[a] brings a grain offering to Yahweh, his offering must be finely milled flour, and he must pour out oil on it and place frankincense on it. And he shall bring it to the sons of Aaron, the priests, and he[b] shall take his handful from its finely milled flour[c] and from its oil in addition to all its frankincense. The priest[d] shall turn its token portion into smoke on the altar as an offering made by fire, as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh. The remainder[e] of the grain offering belongs to[f] Aaron and to his sons—it is a most holy thing[g] from the offerings made by fire for[h] Yahweh.
