Leviticus 2:11-13

The Grain Offering: Consecrated Tribute Before the LORD

The LORD instructs Israel to bring grain offerings prepared with flour, oil, and incense, excluding yeast and honey, including salt, and offering a memorial portion by fire while the remainder supports the priests.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

11No grain offering that you present to the LORD may be made with leaven, for you are not to burn any leaven or honey as a food offering to the LORD.

12You may bring them to the LORD as an offering of firstfruits, but they must not go up on the altar as a pleasing aroma.

13And you shall season each of your grain offerings with salt. You must not leave the salt of the covenant of your God out of your grain offering; you are to add salt to each of your offerings.
