Leviticus 6:14-23

Evangelical Heritage Version

For Grain Offerings

¹⁴ This is the law for the grain offering.

The sons of Aaron shall present it before the Lord, in front of the altar. ¹⁵ One of them shall take a handful of the fine flour of the grain offering and some of its olive oil, together with all the frankincense that is on the grain offering, and turn its memorial portion into smoke on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. ¹⁶ Then Aaron and his sons shall eat the rest of it. It shall be eaten without yeast in a holy place. They shall eat it in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting. ¹⁷ It shall not be baked with leavened dough. I have assigned it as their portion from my gifts. It is most holy, like the sin offering and the restitution offering. ¹⁸ Any male among Aaron’s descendants may eat it as his perpetual portion from the Lord’s gifts throughout your generations. Anyone who touches the offerings will be set apart as holy.^[a]

The Grain Offering of the Priest

¹⁹ The Lord spoke to Moses:

²⁰ This is the offering that Aaron and his sons shall present to the Lord on the day when he is anointed: They shall bring two quarts 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 shall bring it well soaked^[b] and present pieces^[c] of the grain offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. ²² The priest who has been anointed to succeed him from among his sons shall perform this sacrifice as a perpetual obligation to the Lord. It shall be turned entirely into smoke. ²³ So too every grain offering of a priest shall be a total sacrifice. It is not to be eaten.
