New Testament

Leviticus 2:1-10 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. " 'Suppose someone brings a grain offering to the Lord. Then his offering must be made out of fine flour. He must pour olive oil on it. He must also put incense on it.

2. " 'He must take it to the priests who are in Aaron's family line. A priest must take a handful of the fine flour and oil. He must mix it with all of the incense. Then he must burn that part on the altar. It will be a reminder that all good things come from the Lord. It is an offering that is made with fire. It gives a smell that is pleasant to the Lord.

3. " 'The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and to the priests who are in his family line. It is a very holy part of the offerings that are made to the Lord with fire.

4. " 'If you bring a grain offering that is baked in an oven, make it out of fine flour. It can be flat cakes that are made without yeast. Mix them with olive oil. Or it can be wafers that are made without yeast. Spread oil on them.

5. If your grain offering is grilled on a metal plate, make it out of fine flour. Mix it with oil. Make it without yeast.

6. Break it into pieces. Pour oil on it. It is a grain offering.

7. If your grain offering is cooked in a pan, make it out of fine flour and oil.

8. " 'Bring to the Lord your grain offering that is made out of all of those things. Give it to the priest. He must take it to the altar.

9. He must take out the part of the grain offering that reminds you that all good things come from the Lord. He must burn it on the altar. It is an offering that is made with fire. It gives a smell that is pleasant to the Lord.

10. " 'The rest of the grain offering belongs to Aaron and the priests who are in his family line. It is a very holy part of the offerings that are made to the Lord with fire.
