The Grain Offering

14 “‘These are the regulations for the grain offering:(A) Aaron’s sons are to bring it before the Lord, in front of the altar. 15 The priest is to take a handful of the finest flour and some olive oil, together with all the incense(B) on the grain offering,(C) and burn the memorial[a] portion(D) on the altar as an aroma pleasing to the Lord. 16 Aaron and his sons(E) shall eat the rest(F) of it, but it is to be eaten without yeast(G) in the sanctuary area;(H) they are to eat it in the courtyard(I) of the tent of meeting.(J) 17 It must not be baked with yeast; I have given it as their share(K) of the food offerings presented to me.(L) Like the sin offering[b] and the guilt offering, it is most holy.(M) 18 Any male descendant of Aaron may eat it.(N) For all generations to come(O) it is his perpetual share(P) of the food offerings presented to the Lord. Whatever touches them will become holy.[c](Q)’”
