Leviticus 2:13-15
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
13 You shall season all your grain offerings with salt. Do not let the salt of the covenant with your God[a] be lacking from your grain offering. On every offering you shall offer salt.(A)
14 If you offer a grain offering of first ripe fruits to the Lord, you shall offer it in the form of fresh early grain, roasted by fire and crushed as a grain offering of your first ripe fruits. 15 You shall put oil on it and set frankincense on it. It is a grain offering.
