Leviticus 2

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 2 of 27

1 And when a person brings near an offering, a food offering to Jehovah, his offering shall be of flour. And he shall pour oil on it; and he shall put on it frankincense.

2 And he shall bring it to the sons of Aaron the priest, And he shall take from it the fulness of his handful from its flour, and from its oil, with all its frankincense. And the priest shall burn it as incense on the altar, a memorial offering, a fire offering, a soothing fragrance to Jehovah.

3 And the rest of the food offering is for Aaron and for his sons, most holy, of the fire offerings of Jehovah.
