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.

18 ^aAll 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.’ ”

19 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

20 ^a“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.
