Leviticus 6:17-27

17 It shall not be baked 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 who toucheth them shall be holy.'"
19 And the LORD spoke 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: a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a perpetual meat offering, 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 baked thou shalt bring it in, and the baked pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer for a sweet savor unto the LORD.
22 And the priest from among his sons, who is anointed in his stead, shall offer it. It is a statute for ever unto the LORD; it shall be wholly burned.
23 For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burned; it shall not be eaten."
24 And the LORD spoke 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 who offereth it for sin shall eat it; in the holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation.
27 Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy; and when there is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it was sprinkled in the holy place.
