17 The Lord said to Moses: 18 (A)Tell Aaron and his sons: This is the ritual for the purification offering. At the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, there also, before the Lord, shall the purification offering be slaughtered. It is most holy.(B) 19 The priest who offers the purification offering shall eat of it; it shall be eaten in a sacred place,(C) in the court of the tent of meeting. 20 Whatever touches its flesh becomes holy. If any of its blood spatters on a garment, the stained part must be washed in a sacred place. 21 A clay vessel in which it has been boiled shall be broken; if it is boiled in a copper vessel, this shall be scoured afterward and rinsed with water.(D) 22 Every male of the priestly line may eat it. It is most holy. 23 But no purification offering of which some blood has been brought into the tent of meeting(E) to make atonement in the sanctuary shall be eaten; it must be burned with fire.(F)

17 It must not be baked with yeast; I have given it as their share(A) of the food offerings presented to me.(B) Like the sin offering[a] and the guilt offering, it is most holy.(C) 18 Any male descendant of Aaron may eat it.(D) For all generations to come(E) it is his perpetual share(F) of the food offerings presented to the Lord. Whatever touches them will become holy.[b](G)’”

19 The Lord also said to Moses, 20 “This is the offering Aaron and his sons are to bring to the Lord on the day he[c] is anointed:(H) a tenth of an ephah[d](I) of the finest flour(J) as a regular grain offering,(K) half of it in the morning and half in the evening. 21 It must be prepared with oil on a griddle;(L) bring it well-mixed and present the grain offering broken[e] in pieces as an aroma pleasing to the Lord. 22 The son who is to succeed him as anointed priest(M) shall prepare it. It is the Lord’s perpetual share and is to be burned completely.(N) 23 Every grain offering of a priest shall be burned completely; it must not be eaten.”
