  • Kupsabiny: “The one on duty that day shall scoop a handful of finely ground flour which has been mixed with olive oil together with things that smell sweet. Then he shall burn that food on the altar to give out a sweet smell to God. The food that is burned shows that all the food is presented as an offering to God.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)

  • Hiligaynon: “The priest is-to-take-out a handful of this flour offering which has oil, and the (portion) he has-taken-out he is-to-burn on the altar including all the incense that has-been-put there in the flour. He is-to-burn this as a remembrance to the LORD. The fragrant-aroma of this offering will-cause- the LORD -to-be-glad/pleased.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “The priest must take a handful of fine flour mixed with olive oil and incense and burn that on the altar. That handful will signify that the whole offering truly belongs to me. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to me.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
