2:4‘When you present an offering of grain baked in an oven, it must be made of 10  choice wheat flour baked into unleavened loaves 11  mixed with olive oil or 12  unleavened wafers smeared 13  with olive oil. 2:5 If your offering is a grain offering made on the griddle, it must be choice wheat flour mixed with olive oil, unleavened. 2:6 Crumble it in pieces 14  and pour olive oil on it – it is a grain offering. 2:7 If your offering is a grain offering made in a pan, 15  it must be made of choice wheat flour deep fried in olive oil. 16 

2:8‘You must bring the grain offering that must be made from these to the Lord.

6:14 Make 1  for yourself an ark of cypress 2  wood.

You will enter 12  the ark – you, your sons, your wife, and your sonswives with you.
9:16 When the rainbow is in the clouds, I will notice it and remember 1  the perpetual covenant between God and all living creatures of all kinds that are on the earth.”
