14On a griddle with oil it shall be made, well mixed; you shall bring it in baked pieces, a grain offering broken into pieces, and present it as a pleasing aroma to Yahweh.

15And the anointed priest from among his sons, who succeeds him, shall prepare it. It is a permanent statute for Yahweh: it shall be completely turned into smoke.

16And every grain offering of a priest shall be wholly burned; it shall not be eaten.
