^6:20“This is the offering of Aaron and his sons which they must present to the Lord on the day when he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah³⁹ of choice wheat flour⁴⁰ as a continual grain offering, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening. ^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.

Footnotes

39 A tenth of an ephah is about 2.3 liters, one day’s ration for a single person (J. Milgrom, Leviticus [], 1:).
40 For the rendering “choice wheat flour” see the note on .
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.
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.
43 Heb “And the anointed priest under him.”

“This is the offering of Aaron and his sons that they shall present to Yahweh on the day of his being anointed: a tenth of an ephah of finely milled flour as a perpetual grain offering, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening. 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.

KJV 1900King James Version

This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer unto the Lord in the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meat offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and half thereof at night. 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.
