14 'And this 'is' a law of the present: sons of Aaron have brought it near before Jehovah unto the front of the altar, 15 and 'one' hath lifted up of it with his hand from the flour of the present, and from its oil, and all the frankincense which 'is' on the present, and hath made perfume on the altar, sweet fragrance—its memorial to Jehovah. 16 'And the remnant of it do Aaron and his sons eat; 'with' unleavened things it is eaten, in the holy place, in the court of the tent of meeting they do eat it. 17 It is not baken 'with' any thing fermented, their portion I have given it, out of My fire-offerings; it 'is' most holy, like the sin-offering, and like the guilt-offering. 18 Every male among the sons of Aaron doth eat it—a statute age-during to your generations, out of the fire-offerings of Jehovah: all that cometh against them is holy.' 19 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 20 'This 'is' an offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they bring near to Jehovah in the day of his being anointed; a tenth of the ephah of flour 'for' a continual present, half of it in the morning, and half of it in the evening; 21 on a girdel with oil it is made—fried thou dost bring it in; baked pieces of the present thou dost bring near, a sweet fragrance to Jehovah. 22 'And the priest who is anointed in his stead, from among his sons, doth make it,—a statute age-during of Jehovah: it is completely perfumed; 23 and every present of a priest is a whole burnt-offering; it is not eaten.'

(Read Leviticus 6:14-23)
The law of the burnt-offerings put upon the priests a great deal of care and work; the flesh was wholly burnt, and the priests had nothing but the skin. But most of the meat-offering was their own. It is God's will that his ministers should be provided with what is needful.
