Leviticus 2:12

As for an oblation of first-fruits, ye shall bring them near unto Yahweh,—but unto the altar, they shall not take them up, as a satisfying odour.

In The King James Version

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.

In Context

13And, every meal-offering oblation of thine, with salt, shalt thou season, and thou shalt not suffer to be lacking the salt of the covenant of thy God, from upon thy meal-offering,—upon every oblation of thine, shalt thou offer salt.
