¹⁴The following are the regulations for grain offerings. An Aaronite priest shall present the grain offering to the Lord in front of the altar. ¹⁵Then he shall take a handful of the flour and oil, and the incense on it, and burn it on the altar as a token that all of it has been offered to the Lord. The smell of this offering is pleasing to the Lord. ^16–17The priests shall eat the rest of it. It shall be made into bread baked without yeast and eaten in a holy place, the courtyard of the Tent of the Lord’s presence. The Lord has given it to the priests as their part of the food offerings. It is very holy, like the sin offerings and the repayment offerings. ¹⁸For all time to come any of the male descendants of Aaron may eat it as their continuing share of the food offered to the Lord. Anyone else who touches a food offering will be harmed by the power of its holiness.

¹⁹The Lord gave Moses the following regulations ²⁰for the ordination of an Aaronite priest. On the day he is ordained, he shall present as an offering to the Lord one kilogramme of flour (the same amount as the daily grain offering), half in the morning and half in the evening. ²¹It is to be mixed with oil and cooked on a griddle and then crumbled and presented as a grain offering, a smell pleasing to the Lord. ²²For all time to come this offering is to be made by every descendant of Aaron who is serving as High Priest. It shall be completely burnt as a sacrifice to the Lord. ²³No part of a grain offering that a priest makes may be eaten; all of it must be burnt.
