Leviticus 6:14-30

Christian Standard Bible

The Grain Offering

¹⁴ “Now this is the law of the grain offering:^(A) Aaron’s sons will present it before the Lord in front of the altar. ¹⁵ The priest is to remove a handful of fine flour and olive oil from the grain offering, with all the frankincense that is on the offering, and burn its memorial portion on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. ¹⁶ Aaron and his sons may eat the rest of it.^(B) It is to be eaten in the form of unleavened bread^(C) in a holy place;^(D) they are to eat it in the courtyard^(E) of the tent of meeting. ¹⁷ It must not be baked with yeast; I have assigned it as their portion^(F) from my food offerings.^(G) It is especially holy, like the sin offering^(H) and the guilt offering. ¹⁸ Any male among Aaron’s descendants^(I) may eat it. It is a permanent portion^[a](J) throughout your generations from the food offerings to the Lord. Anything that touches the offerings will become holy.”^(K)

¹⁹ The Lord spoke to Moses: ²⁰ “This is the offering that Aaron and his sons are to present to the Lord on the day that he is anointed: two quarts^[b] of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening. ²¹ It is to be prepared with oil on a griddle; you are to bring it well-kneaded. You are to present it as a grain offering of baked pieces,^[c] a pleasing aroma to the Lord. ²² The priest, who is one of Aaron’s sons and will be anointed to take his place, is to prepare it. It must be completely burned as a permanent portion for the Lord. ²³ Every grain offering for a priest will be a whole burnt offering;^(L) it is not to be eaten.”

The Sin Offering

²⁴ The Lord spoke to Moses: ²⁵ “Tell Aaron and his sons: This is the law of the sin offering.^(M) The sin offering is most holy and must be slaughtered before the Lord at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered. ²⁶ The priest who offers it as a sin offering will eat it. It is to be eaten in a holy place,^(N) in the courtyard of the tent of meeting. ²⁷ Anything that touches its flesh will become holy, and if any of its blood spatters on a garment, then you must wash that garment^[d] in a holy place. ²⁸ A clay pot in which the sin offering is boiled is to be broken; if it is boiled in a bronze vessel, it is to be scoured and rinsed with water. ²⁹ Any male among the priests may eat it; it is especially holy. ³⁰ But no sin offering may be eaten if its blood has been brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the holy place; it must be burned.
