When a soul, that is, a poor man, offereth an offering of sacrifice to the Lord, [tried] flour of wheat shall be his offering. And he shall pour oil thereon, and he shall put incense, (When anyone offereth a grain offering to the Lord, fine wheat flour shall be his offering. And he shall pour oil on it, and he shall put frankincense on it,)

and he shall bear it to the sons of Aaron, [the] priest(s), of the which sons one of them shall take an handful of tried wheat flour, and of oil, and all the incense; and he shall put these (as) a memorial on the altar, into the sweetest odour to the Lord. (and he shall take it to the priests, the sons of Aaron, of which priests one of them shall take a handful of the fine wheat flour, and some oil, and all the frankincense; and he shall burn this on the altar as a token of the offering, to make the sweetest aroma to the Lord.)

Forsooth that that is left of the sacrifice shall be Aaron’s and his sons’, the holy of holy things of offerings to the Lord. (And the rest of the grain offering shall be for Aaron and his sons, a most holy thing, from the offerings to the Lord.)
