Leviticus 6:20-23

20 “This is the offering Aaron and his sons are to bring to the LORD on the day he^[a] is anointed: a tenth of an ephah^[b] of the finest flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening.

21 It must be prepared with oil on a griddle; bring it well-mixed and present the grain offering broken^[c] in pieces as an aroma pleasing to the LORD.

22 The son who is to succeed him as anointed priest shall prepare it. It is the LORD’s perpetual share and is to be burned completely.

23 Every grain offering of a priest shall be burned completely; it must not be eaten.”
