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

11 No 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.

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

13 And 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.
