| 12 | As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto the LORD: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour. | You may bring them to the LORD as an offering of firstfruits, but they are not to be offered on the altar as a pleasing aroma. | As an oblation of first- fruits ye shall offer them unto Jehovah: but they shall not come up for a sweet savor on the altar. |
