Additional Laws for Grain Offerings
14 “‘And this is the regulation of the grain offering. Aaron’s sons shall present it before[a] Yahweh in front of[b] the altar, 15 and he[c] in his fist shall take away from it some of[d] the grain offering’s finely milled flour, and some of[e] its oil and all of the frankincense that is on the grain offering, and he shall turn into smoke its token portion on the altar as an appeasing fragrance to Yahweh. 16 And Aaron and his sons must eat the remainder of it; they must eat it as unleavened bread in a holy place—in the tent of assembly’s courtyard they must eat it. 17 It must not be baked with yeast. I have given it as their share from my offerings made by fire. It is a most holy thing,[f] like the sin offering and like the guilt offering. 18 Every male among Aaron’s sons may eat it as a lasting rule among your generations from the offerings made by fire belonging to[g] Yahweh. Anything that[h] touches them will become holy.’”
19 Then[i] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 20 “This is the offering of Aaron and his sons that they shall present to Yahweh on the day of his being anointed: a tenth of an[j] ephah of finely milled flour as a perpetual grain offering, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening. 21 It must be made[k] in[l] oil on a flat baking pan; you[m] must bring it well-mixed; you must present pieces of a grain offering’s baked goods[n] as an appeasing fragrance to Yahweh. 22 And the anointed priest taking his place from among his sons must do it. As a lasting rule, it must be turned into smoke totally for Yahweh. 23 And every grain offering of a priest must be a whole burnt offering; it must not be eaten.”

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.”
