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.”
