Leviticus 6:16-26

16 And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat : with unleavened bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation they shall eat it.

17 It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it unto them for their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.

18 All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations concerning the offerings of the LORD made by fire: every one that toucheth them shall be holy .

19 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying ,

20 This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer unto the LORD in the day when he is anointed ; the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meat offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and half thereof at night.

21 In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is baken , thou shalt bring it in: and the baken pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer for a sweet savour unto the LORD.

22 And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer it: it is a statute for ever unto the LORD; it shall be wholly burnt .

23 For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten .

24 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying ,

25 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying , This is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed before the LORD: it is most holy.

26 The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in the holy place shall it be eaten , in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation.
