Leviticus 2
Laws for grain offerings....
He should bring an offering of "fine flour" and take a handful to give to the priests. To that handful, he should add oil and frankincense. The priest should burn this portion as a memorial offering to the Lord but may eat the rest.
No leaven or honey. Add salt. There are various reasons suggested for the qualification that honey or leaven not be used. Salt is a purifying and preserving agent, connected to Jesus and his words about the gospel as a preserving element.
