Leviticus 6:20-30

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.”

The Sin Offering

24 The LORD said to Moses,
25 “Say to Aaron and his sons: ‘These are the regulations for the sin offering: The sin offering is to be slaughtered before the LORD in the place the burnt offering is slaughtered; it is most holy.
26 The priest who offers it shall eat it; it is to be eaten in the sanctuary area, in the courtyard of the tent of meeting.
27 Whatever touches any of the flesh will become holy, and if any of the blood is spattered on a garment, you must wash it in the sanctuary area.
28 The clay pot the meat is cooked in must be broken; but if it is cooked in a bronze pot, the pot is to be scoured and rinsed with water.
29 Any male in a priest’s family may eat it; it is most holy.
30 But any sin offering whose blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place must not be eaten; it must be burned up.
