16. Aaron and his sons may eat the rest of the flour, but it must be baked without yeast and eaten in a sacred place within the courtyard of the Tabernacle.
17. Remember, it must never be prepared with yeast. I have given it to the priests as their share of the special gifts presented to me. Like the sin offering and the guilt offering, it is most holy.
18. Any of Aaron’s male descendants may eat from the special gifts presented to the lord. This is their permanent right from generation to generation. Anyone or anything that touches these offerings will become holy.”
19. Then the lord said to Moses,
20. “On the day Aaron and his sons are anointed, they must present to the lord the standard grain offering of two quarts of choice flour, half to be offered in the morning and half to be offered in the evening.
21. It must be carefully mixed with olive oil and cooked on a griddle. Then slice this grain offering and present it as a pleasing aroma to the lord.
22. In each generation, the high priest who succeeds Aaron must prepare this same offering. It belongs to the lord and must be burned up completely. This is a permanent law.
23. All such grain offerings of a priest must be burned up entirely. None of it may be eaten.”
24. Then the lord said to Moses,
25. “Give Aaron and his sons the following instructions regarding the sin offering. The animal given as an offering for sin is a most holy offering, and it must be slaughtered in the lord’s presence at the place where the burnt offerings are slaughtered.
26. The priest who offers the sacrifice as a sin offering must eat his portion in a sacred place within the courtyard of the Tabernacle.
27. Anyone or anything that touches the sacrificial meat will become holy. If any of the sacrificial blood spatters on a person’s clothing, the soiled garment must be washed in a sacred place.
28. If a clay pot is used to boil the sacrificial meat, it must then be broken. If a bronze pot is used, it must be scoured and thoroughly rinsed with water.
