Numbers 15:19
17 Then the LORD said to Moses,
18 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land to which I am bringing you
and you eat the food of the land, you shall lift up an offering to the LORD.
20 From the first of your dough, you are to lift up a cake as a contribution; offer it just like an offering from the threshing floor.
21 Throughout your generations, you are to give the LORD an offering from the first of your dough.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
