Leviticus 6:20-22

20 1"This is the offering that Aaron and his sons shall offer to the LORD on the day when he is anointed: a 2tenth of an ephah[a] of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening.
21 It shall be made with oil 3on a griddle. You shall bring it 4well mixed, in baked[b] pieces like a grain offering, and offer it for a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
22 The priest from among Aaron's sons, who is anointed to succeed him, shall offer it to the LORD as decreed forever. 5The whole of it shall be burned.
