AND a soule, when it will offer an ob∣lation [unspec 1] of Meat-offring, unto Iehovah; his oblation shall be, of fine-flowre: and he shall powre oile upon it, and put fran∣kincense upon it. And hee shall bring it, unto [unspec 2] the sonnes of Aaron, the Priests: and hee shall take thereout his handfull, of the flowre thereof, and of the oile thereof; with all the frankincense thereof: and the Priest shall burne the memoriall thereof, on the Altar; a Fyre-offring, of a savour of rest, unto Ieho∣vah. And the remnant of the Meat-offring, [unspec 3] shall be Aarons, and his sonnes: it is Holy of holyes, of Iehovahs Fyre-offrings.
And when thou shalt offer, an oblation of [unspec 4] a Meat-offring, baked in the oven: it shall be of fine-flowre, unlevened cakes mingled with oile; or unlevened wafers, anoynted with oile.
And if thy oblation, be a Meat-offring on a pan: it shall be of fine-flowre, mingled with [unspec 5] oile, unlevened. Thou shalt part it in pieces, [unspec 6] and powre oile thereon: it is a Meat-offring.
And if thy oblation, be a Meat-offring of [unspec 7] the frying-pan: it shall bee made of fine-flowre, with oile. And thou shalt bring the [unspec 8] Meat-offring, which shall be made of these things, unto Iehovah: and he shall offer it un∣to the Priest, and hee shall bring it unto the Altar. And the Priest shall take-up from the [unspec 9] Meat-offring, a memoriall thereof, and shall burne it upon the Altar: a Fyre offring, of a [unspec 10] savour of rest, unto Iehovah. And the rem∣nant of the Meat-offring, shall be Aarons and his sonnes: it is Holy of holyes, of Iehovahs Fyre-offrings. No Meat-offring, which yee [unspec 11] shall offer unto Iehovah, shall be made with leven: for ye shall not burne any old-leven, nor any honey, in a Fyre-offring unto Ieho∣vah. In the oblation of the first-fruits, ye shall [unspec 12] offer them unto Iehovah: but they shall not ascend on the Altar, for a savour of rest. And [unspec 13] every oblation of thy Meat-offring, thou shalt salt with salt: and thou shalt not let cease, the salt of the covenant of thy God, from on thy meat-offring: with every obla∣tion of thine, thou shalt offer salt.
And if thou shalt offer, a Meat-offring of [unspec 14] first fruits, to Iehovah: thou shalt offer for the Meat-offring of thy first fruits, greene∣ears-of-corne parched in the fire, ground-corne out of the full-eare. And thou shalt put [unspec 15] oile upon it, and lay frankincense upon it: it is a Meat-offring. And the Priest shall burne [unspec 16] the memoriall of it, of the ground-corne thereof, and of the oile thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: a Fyre-offring unto Iehovah.
