He shall pour oil on it, and put…” The line to keep is Leviticus 2:1: ““‘When anyone offers an offering of a meal offering to Yahweh, his offering shall be of fine flour. He shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it.” Carry the word “anyone” from that verse into the rest of the day.
Leviticus 2 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, ““‘When anyone offers an offering of a meal offering to Yahweh, his offering shall be of fine flour. He shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

The line worth learning out loud is Leviticus 2:1: ““‘When anyone offers an offering of a meal offering to Yahweh, his offering shall be of fine flour. He shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.
