Leviticus 6:18-28

18 Any male descendant among Aaron's sons may eat it. This is a fixed rule regarding God's gifts, stretching down the generations. Anyone who touches these offerings must be holy."

19 God spoke to Moses,

20 "This is the offering which Aaron and his sons each are to present to God on the day he is anointed: two quarts of fine flour as a regular Grain-Offering, half in the morning and half in the evening.

21 Prepare it with oil on a griddle. Bring it well-mixed and then present it crumbled in pieces as a pleasing fragrance to God.

22 Aaron's son who is anointed to succeed him offers it to God - this is a fixed rule. The whole thing is burned.

23 Every Grain-Offering of a priest is burned completely; it must not be eaten."

24 God spoke to Moses,

25 "Tell Aaron and his sons: These are the instructions for the Absolution-Offering. Slaughter the Absolution-Offering in the place where the Whole-Burnt-Offering is slaughtered before God - the offering is most holy.

26 The priest in charge eats it in a holy place, the Courtyard of the Tent of Meeting.

27 Anyone who touches any of the meat must be holy. A garment that gets blood spattered on it must be washed in a holy place.

28 Break the clay pot in which the meat was cooked. If it was cooked in a bronze pot, scour it and rinse it with water.
