Chapter 1 was about meat offerings, chapter 2 is about grain offerings. Grain offerings had to be unleavened (no yeast) and contain no honey, but they had to be seasoned with salt. God wants carbs, gluten and salt, that’s the takeaway from Leviticus 2.
Leviticus 2
“When anyone offers a grain offering to the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour and he shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it:
2 He shall bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests: and he shall take out a handful of the flour, and of the oil, with all the frankincense; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it on the altar, to be an offering made by fire, a pleasant aroma to the LORD:
3 The remainder of the grain offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a most holy part of the offerings made by fire to the LORD.
4 If you bring a grain offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.
5 And if your grain offering is baked on a griddle, it shall be of unleavened fine flour, mingled with oil.
6 You shall break it in pieces, and pour oil on it: it is a grain offering.
7 And if your grain offering is cooked in a pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.
8 You shall bring the grain offering that is made in any of these ways to the LORD: and when it is presented to the priest, he shall bring it to the altar.
9 And the priest shall take from the grain offering a memorial, and shall burn it upon the altar: it is an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
10 What is left of the grain offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a most holy part of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
11 No grain offering that you bring to the LORD shall be made with leaven: for you shall not burn leaven, nor honey, in any offering to the LORD made by fire.
12 You may offer them to the LORD as an offering of first fruits, but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a pleasing aroma.
13 And every grain offering you shall season with salt; you shall not allow the covenant of your God to be lacking salt from your grain offering: with all your offerings you shall offer salt.
14 If you offer a grain offering of your first fruits to the LORD, you shall offer fresh heads of grain, crushed and roasted, as your first fruits offering.
15 You shall put oil on it, and add frankincense to it: it is a grain offering.
16 And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the crushed grain, and part of the oil, with all the frankincense: it is a food offering made by fire to the LORD. “
