14 ‘Now this is the law of the grain offering: the sons of Aaron shall bring it near before Yahweh in front of the altar. 15 (A)Then one of them shall raise up from it a handful of the fine flour of the grain offering, [a]with its oil and all the frankincense that is on the grain offering, and he shall offer it up in smoke on the altar, a soothing aroma, as its memorial offering to Yahweh. 16 (B)What is left of it Aaron and his sons shall eat. It shall be eaten as unleavened cakes in a holy place; they shall eat it in the court of the tent of meeting. 17 (C)It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their share from My offerings by fire; (D)it is most holy, like the sin offering and (E)the guilt offering. 18 (F)Every male among the sons of Aaron may eat it; it is a perpetual statute throughout your generations, from the offerings by fire to Yahweh. (G)Whoever touches them will be set apart as holy.’”

19 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 20 “This is the offering which Aaron and his sons shall bring near to Yahweh on the day when he is anointed; the [b]tenth of an (H)ephah of fine flour as (I)a [c]regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening. 21 It shall be prepared with oil on a (J)griddle. When it is well stirred, you shall bring it. You shall bring near the grain offering in baked pieces as a soothing aroma to Yahweh. 22 And the anointed priest, who will be in his place [d]among his sons, shall [e]offer it. By a perpetual statute it shall be entirely offered up in smoke to Yahweh. 23 So every grain offering of the priest shall be burned entirely. It shall not be eaten.”

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)’”

19 The Lord also said to Moses, 20 “This is the offering Aaron and his sons are to bring to the Lord on the day he[d] is anointed:(R) a tenth of an ephah[e](S) of the finest flour(T) as a regular grain offering,(U) half of it in the morning and half in the evening. 21 It must be prepared with oil on a griddle;(V) bring it well-mixed and present the grain offering broken[f] in pieces as an aroma pleasing to the Lord. 22 The son who is to succeed him as anointed priest(W) shall prepare it. It is the Lord’s perpetual share and is to be burned completely.(X) 23 Every grain offering of a priest shall be burned completely; it must not be eaten.”
