The Law of the Grain Offering
14 ‘This is the law of the grain offering: The sons of Aaron shall offer it on the altar before the Lord.
15 He shall take from it his handful of the fine flour of the grain offering, with its oil, and all the frankincense which is on the grain offering, and shall burn it on the altar for a sweet aroma, as a memorial to the Lord.
16 And the remainder of it Aaron and his sons shall eat; with unleavened bread it shall be eaten in a holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of meeting they shall eat it.
17 It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their1 portion of My offerings made by fire; it is most holy, like the sin offering and the atrespass offering.
18aAll the males among the children of Aaron may eat it. bIt shall be a statute forever in your generations concerning the offerings made by fire to the Lord. cEveryone who touches them must be holy.’ ”
20a“This is the offering of Aaron and his sons, which they shall offer to the Lord, beginning on the day when he is anointed: one-tenth of an bephah of fine flour as a daily grain offering, half of it in the morning and half of it at night.
21 It shall be made in a apan with oil. When it is mixed, you shall bring it in. The baked pieces of the grain offering you shall offer for a1 sweet aroma to the Lord.
22 The priest from among his sons, awho is anointed in his place, shall offer it. It is a statute forever to the Lord. bIt shall be wholly burned.
23 For every grain offering for the priest shall be wholly burned. It shall not be eaten.”
25 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘This is the law of the sin offering: aIn the place where the burnt offering is killed, the sin offering shall be killed before the Lord. It is most holy.
LEVITICUS. So called from its treating of the laws relating to the ritual, the services, and sacrifices of the Jewish religion, the superintendence of which was entrusted to the Levitical priesthood. It is chiefly, however, the duties of the priests, "the sons of Aaron," which this book describes; and its claim to be the work of Moses is established by the following passages:— II Chronicles 30:16; Nehemiah 8:14; Jeremiah 7:22-23; Ezekiel 20:11Matthew 8:4; Luke 2:22; John 8:5; Romans 10:4; Romans 13:9; II Corinthians 6:16; Galatians 3:12; I Peter 1:16.
