Leviticus 6:14-17

14 "And this is the law of 1the grain offering. The sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD in front of the altar.
15 And one shall take from it a handful of the fine flour of the grain offering and its oil and all the frankincense that is on the grain offering and burn this as its 2memorial portion on the altar, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
16 And 3the rest of it Aaron and his sons shall eat. It shall be eaten unleavened 4in a holy place. In the court of the tent of meeting they shall eat it.
17 5It shall not be baked with leaven. 6I have given it as their portion of my food offerings. 7It is a thing most holy, like the sin offering and the guilt offering.
