Leviticus 6:14-23

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁴ “This is the rule of the grain offering: The sons of Aaron shall offer it before the Lord, in front of the altar.^{(A) 15} They shall take from it a handful of the choice flour and oil of the grain offering, with all the frankincense that is on the offering, and they shall turn its memorial portion into smoke on the altar as a pleasing odor to the Lord. ¹⁶ Aaron and his sons shall eat what is left of it; it shall be eaten as unleavened cakes in a holy place; in the court of the tent of meeting they shall eat it.^{(B) 17} It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their portion of my offerings by fire;^[a] it is most holy, like the purification offering and the guilt offering.^{(C) 18} Every male among the descendants of Aaron shall eat of it, as their perpetual due throughout your generations, from the Lord’s offerings by fire;^[b] anything that touches them shall become holy.”^(D)

¹⁹ The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁰ “This is the offering that Aaron and his sons shall offer to the Lord on the day when he is anointed: one-tenth of an ephah of choice flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening.^{(E) 21} It shall be made with oil on a griddle; you shall bring it well soaked, as a grain offering of baked^[c] pieces, and you shall present it as a pleasing odor to the Lord.^{(F) 22} And so the priest, anointed from among Aaron’s descendants as a successor, shall prepare it; it is the Lord’s—a perpetual due—to be turned entirely into smoke. ²³ Every grain offering of a priest shall be wholly burned; it shall not be eaten.”
