16 '1What is left of it Aaron and his sons are to eat. It shall be eaten as unleavened cakes in a holy place; they are to eat it in the court of the tent of meeting.
17 '2It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their share from My offerings by fire; 3it is most holy, like the sin offering and 4the guilt offering.
18 '5Every male among the sons of Aaron may eat it; it is a permanent ordinance throughout your generations, from the offerings by fire to the LORD. 6Whoever * touches them will become consecrated.' "
19 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
20 "This is the offering which Aaron and his sons are to present to the LORD on the day when he is anointed; the tenth of an 7ephah of fine flour as 8a 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 9griddle. When it is well stirred, you shall bring it. You shall present the grain offering in baked pieces as a soothing aroma to the LORD.
22 "The anointed priest who will be in his place among his sons shall offer it. By a permanent ordinance it shall be entirely offered up in smoke to the LORD.
23 "So every grain offering of the priest shall be burned entirely. It shall not be eaten."
24 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
25 "Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, 'This is the law of the sin offering: 10in the place where the burnt offering is slain the sin offering shall be slain before the LORD; it is most holy.
26 '11The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place, in the court of the tent of meeting.
