Crush

Put all the grain on the altar

Crush it. Crush it into fine powder

Pour in the oil. Let it saturate it

Burn it upon the altar

Leave it there, an offering to the King.

Offer the crushed heads.

Put the wild heads on the stove

Mix it on the griddle. Sprinkle the salt

Leave the offering on the altar,

A sweet aroma to the King.

Keep it tasty without yeast. Leave out the swellings of self

Keep away from the smoke of pride

Remove the honey

Remove the sweetness of hypocrisy and deceit

Get rid of artificiality and even limitations

Roast the crushed heads in the pan

Pour in the oil and the incense

Let it burn and offer it as a meal,

A sweet-smelling offering to the Lord.
