Leviticus 6:14-23

14 "And this is the law of ¹the grain offering. The sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD in front of the altar.

15 And one shall take from it a handful of the fine flour of the grain offering and its oil and all the frankincense that is on the grain offering and burn this as its ²memorial portion on the altar, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

16 And ³the rest of it Aaron and his sons shall eat. It shall be eaten unleavened ⁴in a holy place. In the court of the tent of meeting they shall eat it.

17 ⁵It shall not be baked with leaven. ⁶I have given it as their portion of my food offerings. ⁷It is a thing most holy, like the sin offering and the guilt offering.

18 Every male among the children of Aaron may eat of it, as decreed forever throughout your generations, from the LORD's food offerings. Whatever touches them shall become holy."

19 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

20 ⁸"This is the offering that Aaron and his sons shall offer to the LORD on the day when he is anointed: a ⁹tenth of an ephah^[a] of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening.

21 It shall be made with oil ¹⁰on a griddle. You shall bring it ¹¹well mixed, in baked^[b] pieces like a grain offering, and offer it for a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

22 The priest from among Aaron's sons, who is anointed to succeed him, shall offer it to the LORD as decreed forever. ¹²The whole of it shall be burned.

23 Every grain offering of a priest shall be wholly burned. It shall not be eaten."
