15 and a basket of matzah, cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their meal offering, and their drink offerings.
16 The Kohen shall present them before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering.
17 He shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of shalom offerings to the LORD, with the basket of matzah. The Kohen shall offer also its meal offering, and its drink offering.
