¹⁴“ ‘Here are some more rules for grain offerings. The priests who are in Aaron’s family line must bring the grain offering to the Lord in front of the altar.

¹⁵“ ‘The priest must take a handful of fine flour and olive oil. He must add to it all of the incense that is on the grain offering. He must burn that part on the altar. It will remind him that all good things come from the Lord. It gives a smell that is pleasant to the Lord.

¹⁶“ ‘Aaron and the priests who are in his family line will eat the rest of it. But they must eat it without yeast in a holy place. They must eat it in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting. ¹⁷It must not be baked with yeast. The Lord has given it to the priests as their share of the offerings that are made to him with fire. It is very holy, just like the sin offering and the guilt offering.

¹⁸“ ‘Any priests who are in Aaron’s family line can eat it. It is their regular share of the offerings that are made to the Lord with fire. It is their share for all time to come. Anyone who touches those offerings will become holy.’ ”

¹⁹The Lord spoke to Moses. He said, ²⁰“On the day each high priest who is in Aaron’s family line is anointed, he must bring an offering to me. He must bring eight cups of fine flour as a regular grain offering. He must bring half of it in the morning. He must bring the other half in the evening. ²¹Mix it with olive oil. Grill it on a metal plate. Break it in pieces. Bring it as a grain offering. It gives a smell that is pleasant to me.

²²“The son of Aaron who will become the next high priest after him will prepare the grain offering. It is my regular share. It must be completely burned up. ²³Every grain offering a high priest offers must be completely burned up. It must not be eaten.”
