Contextual Overview

11 "You must not give any grain offering to the Lord that has yeast in it. You must not burn yeast or honey as a gift to the Lord . 12 You may bring yeast and honey to the Lord as an offering from the first harvest, but they must not be put on the altar to be burned as a sweet smell. 13 Also, you must put salt on every grain offering you bring. You must not forget to add salt, because it represents God's agreement with you. Always put salt on these offerings. 14 "If you bring a grain offering from the first harvest to the Lord , you must bring roasted heads of grain. They must be crushed heads of fresh grain. This will be your grain offering from the first harvest. 15 You must put oil and frankincense on it. It is a grain offering. 16 The priest must burn part of the crushed grain, the oil, and all the frankincense on it as a memorial offering. It is a gift to the Lord .

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon,.... Either on the ears of corn dried, or on the fine flour of them when ground; in like manner as the oil and frankincense were put upon the fine flour of wheat, and upon the cakes and wafers baked, Leviticus 2:1

it [is] a meat offering; one sort of it, and like the rest.
