Graphic Bible · Scene 2 of 10

A plain white-linen priest takes a small handful of flour mixed with oil and frankincense from an earthen bowl beside the broad bronze altar. Another white-linen priest holds the bowl with the visibly larger remaining portion. Small wood fire on altar awaits the memorial portion; no whole bowl dumped into fire. Depict preparation before burning, not all steps simultaneously.

2He shall bring it to Aaron’s sons, the priests, and he shall take from there a handful of its fine flour and some of its oil, with all of its frankincense. Then the priest shall burn its memorial portion on the altar, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to Yahweh.

3And what is left of the grain offering shall be for Aaron and for his sons, a most holy portion from the food offerings of Yahweh.
