What is happening here?
Leviticus 2 gives the law of the meat offering, meaning a grain offering rather than animal flesh. Fine flour, oil, and frankincense may be presented in several prepared forms. A memorial portion is burned upon the altar, while the remainder belongs to Aaron and his sons. Leaven and honey are excluded from offerings made by fire, salt is required with every offering, and firstfruits may be presented according to the stated rules.
