The bloodless offering, the bloodless gift.

Archimandrite Nikifor’s Biblical Encyclopedia

The material for these consisted of grains or ears of corn, flour with oil and frankincense, baked goods of flour with oil in various forms, frankincense, and wine. Sometimes these materials were joined to other offerings and sacrifices, and sometimes they were offered separately. They belonged partly to the altar, and partly to the priests and Levites. Salt was always added to all such offerings, but leavened bread and anything containing leaven was never burned on the altar, and honey was altogether excluded from among the offerings (Lev. 2:2; 6:14–16 [as given]; Num. 28:5).
