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.”

17 It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it unto them for their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.

18 All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations concerning the offerings of the Lord made by fire: every one that toucheth them shall be holy.

19 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

20 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.

21 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.

22 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.

23 For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten.
