“And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meat offering.”
Put oil and incense on it; it is a grain offering. The firstfruits grain offering receives the same treatment as the standard grain offering of verse 1: oil is poured on it and incense is placed on it. The anointing of oil and the fragrance of incense apply equally to the unprocessed firstfruits and the finest processed flour. The standard of what makes a grain offering acceptable is the same regardless of the form: the oil of consecration and the incense of prayer accompany every presentation.
