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.

6:16-17 The priest shall eat the rest of it. It shall be made into bread without yeast and eaten in a holy place, the courtyard of the Tent of the LORD's Presence. The LORD has given it to the priests as their part of the food offerings. It is very holy, like the sin offerings and the repayment offerings.

6:18 For all time to come any of the male descendants of Aaron may eat it as continuing share of the food offered to the LORD. Any one else who touches the 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 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 pleasing to the LORD.

6:22 For all time to come this offering is to be made be 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.
