6:21It must be made with olive oil on a griddle and you must bring it well soaked,41 so you must present a grain offering of broken pieces42 as a soothing aroma to the Lord. 6:22The high priest who succeeds him43 from among his sons must do it. It is a perpetual statute; it must be offered up in smoke as a whole offering to the Lord. 6:23Every grain offering of a priest must be a whole offering; it must not be eaten.”

Footnotes

  1. 41 The term rendered here “well soaked” (see, e.g., ; the Hebrew term is מֻרְבֶּכֶת, murbbekhet) occurs only three times (here; 7:12, and 1 Chr 23:29), and is sometimes translated “well-mixed” (e.g., , , ; “well stirred”; “well kneaded”). The meaning is uncertain (J. Milgrom, Leviticus [], 1:), but in Lev 7:12 it stands parallel to already prepared grain offerings either “mixed” (the Hebrew term is בְּלוּלֹת (bélulot), not מֻרְבֶּכֶת as in Lev 6:21 [6:14 ]) or anointed with oil.
  2. 42 Heb “broken bits [?] of a grain offering of pieces,” but the meaning of the Hebrew term rendered here “broken bits” (תֻּפִינֵי, tufiney) is quite uncertain. Some take it from the Hebrew verb “to break up, to crumble” (פַּת [pat]; e.g., the , , , “broken” pieces) and others from “to bake” (אָפַה, ’afah; e.g., “baked pieces”). For a good summary of other proposed options, see J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (), . Compare Lev 2:5–6 for the general regulations regarding this manner of grain offering. Similar but less problematic terminology is used there.
  3. 43 Heb “And the anointed priest under him.”
  4. 44 See the note on [6:1 ].

ESVEnglish Standard Version

It shall be made with oil on a griddle. You shall bring it well mixed, in baked pieces like a grain offering, and offer it for a pleasing aroma to the Lord. The priest from among Aaron’s sons, who is anointed to succeed him, shall offer it to the Lord as decreed forever. The whole of it shall be burned. Every grain offering of a priest shall be wholly burned. It shall not be eaten.”

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

NIVNew International Version (2011)

It must be prepared with oil on a griddle; bring it well-mixed and present the grain offering broken in pieces as an aroma pleasing to the Lord. The son who is to succeed him as anointed priest shall prepare it. It is the Lord’s perpetual share and is to be burned completely. Every grain offering of a priest shall be burned completely; it must not be eaten.”

The Lord said to Moses,

CSBChristian Standard Bible

It is to be prepared with oil on a griddle; you are to bring it well-kneaded. You are to present it as a grain offering of baked pieces, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. The priest, who is one of Aaron’s sons and will be anointed to take his place, is to prepare it. It must be completely burned as a permanent portion for the Lord. Every grain offering for a priest will be a whole burnt offering; it is not to be eaten.”

The Lord spoke to Moses:

NLTNew Living Translation

It must be carefully mixed with olive oil and cooked on a griddle. Then slice this grain offering and present it as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. In each generation, the high priest who succeeds Aaron must prepare this same offering. It belongs to the Lord and must be burned up completely. This is a permanent law. All such grain offerings of a priest must be burned up entirely. None of it may be eaten.”

Then the Lord said to Moses,

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

It must be made in oil on a flat baking pan; you must bring it well-mixed; you must present pieces of a grain offering’s baked goods as an appeasing fragrance to Yahweh. And the anointed priest taking his place from among his sons must do it. As a lasting rule, it must be turned into smoke totally for Yahweh. And every grain offering of a priest must be a whole burnt offering; it must not be eaten.”

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

KJV 1900King James Version

In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is baken, thou shalt bring it in: and the baken pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer for a sweet savour unto the Lord. And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer it: it is a statute for ever unto the Lord; it shall be wholly burnt. For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten.

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
