Leviticus / Question
Question source
Leviticus
Leviticus states that no grain offering presented to the LORD may be made with leaven, and it also prohibits burning honey as a food offering. The rule is given as a direct restriction on what may be turned into smoke on the altar. The chapter distinguishes this from certain firstfruits presentations (Leviticus 2:11–12).
11No meal-offering, which you shall offer to Yahweh, shall be made with yeast; for you shall burn no yeast, nor any honey, as an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
12As an offering of first -[fruits] you shall offer them to Yahweh: but they shall not come up for a sweet savor on the altar.
