2 Returning a kindness is like a grain offering; giving to the poor is like a thanksgiving offering.
3 Keeping away from sin will please the Lord and make atonement for sin.
4 But don't come to the Temple without an offering;
5 the Law requires that you bring one.
6 When a righteous person offers a sacrifice and the fat drips down on the altar, a pleasant smell rises to the Most High.
7 The Lord will accept the offerings made by a righteous person and will not forget them.
8 Praise the Lord by making generous offerings to him; don't be stingy with the first of your crops.
