Grain Offerings

14 “This is the law concerning grain offerings: Aaron’s sons are to offer them in the Lord’s presence, in front of the altar. 15 He is to take a handful of fine flour for a grain offering, some olive oil, and all of the frankincense for the grain offering, and make a sacrifice of smoke on the altar as a memorial portion, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 16 Aaron and his sons are to eat what remains of the unleavened offering at this sacred place—the court of the Tent of Meeting. 17 It is not to be baked with leaven. I’ve given it as their portion out of my offerings made by fire. It’s a most holy thing, like the sin and guilt offerings. 18 Every male of Aaron’s sons is to eat it as a portion continually allotted for your generations from the offerings made by fire to the Lord. Anyone who touches them is to be holy.”

Offerings by the Priests

19 Then the Lord told Moses, 20 “This is the offering that Aaron and his sons are to offer to the Lord the day he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah[a] of flour is to be offered throughout the day, half in the morning and half in the evening. 21 It is to be prepared with olive oil on a griddle. Once it has been mixed thoroughly, bake it, bring it in pieces, and offer it like a grain offering of broken pieces, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 22 The anointed priest who succeeds him from among his sons is to offer[b] it. As a permanent statute, it is to be offered whole and made to smoke in the Lord’s presence. 23 Every grain offering from a priest is to be burned[c] whole. It is not to be eaten.”
