Leviticus

Leviticus 6:20–23

20“This is the offering that Aaron and his sons must present to the LORD on the day he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah of fine floura as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening. 21It shall be prepared with oil on a griddle;b you are to bring it well-kneaded and present it as a grain offering brokenc in pieces, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. 22The priest, who is one of Aaron’s sons and will be anointed to take his place, is to prepare it. As a permanent portion for the LORD, it must be burned completely. 23Every grain offering for a priest shall be burned completely; it is not to be eaten.”
