Grain Offerings (LEV 6:14-23)

[6:14] The following are the regulations for grain offerings. An Aaronite priest shall present the grain offering to the Lord in front of the altar.

[6:15] Then 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 odor of this offering is pleasing to the Lord.

[6:18] For 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.

[6:19] The Lord gave Moses the following regulations

[6:20] for the ordination of an Aaronite priest. On the day he is ordained, he shall present as an offering to the Lord two pounds of flour (the same amount as the daily grain offering), half in the morning and half in the evening.

[6:21] It is to be mixed with oil and cooked on a griddle and then crumbled and presented as a grain offering, an odor pleasing to the Lord.

[6:22] For 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 burned as a sacrifice to the Lord.

[6:23] No part of a grain offering that a priest makes may be eaten; all of it must be burned.
