16 ' What is left of it Aaron and his sons are to eat . It shall be eaten as unleavened cakes in a holy place ; they are to eat it in the court of the tent of meeting . 17 ' It shall not be baked with leaven . I have given it as their share from My offerings by fire ; it is most holy , like the sin offering and the guilt offering . 18 ' Every male among the sons of Aaron may eat it; it is a permanent ordinance throughout your generations , from the offerings by fire to the Lord . Whoever e touches them will become consecrated .' " 19 Then the Lord spoke to Moses , saying , 20 "This is the offering which Aaron and his sons are to present to the Lord on the day when he is anointed ; the tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a regular grain offering , half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening . 21 "It shall be prepared with oil on a griddle . When it is well stirred , you shall bring it. You shall present the grain offering in baked pieces as a soothing aroma to the Lord . 22 "The anointed priest who will be in his place among his sons shall offer it. By a permanent ordinance it shall be entirely offered up in smoke to the Lord . 23 "So every grain offering of the priest shall be burned entirely . It shall not be eaten ."
24 Then the Lord spoke to Moses , saying , 25 "Speak to Aaron and to his sons , saying , 'This is the law of the sin offering : in the place where the burnt offering is slain the sin offering shall be slain before the Lord ; it is most holy . 26 ' The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place , in the court of the tent of meeting .

(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.
Commentary on Leviticus 6:24-30
(Read Leviticus 6:24-30)
The blood of the sin-offering was to be washed out of the clothes on which it should happen to be sprinkled, which signified the regard we ought to have to the blood of Christ, not counting it a common thing. The vessel in which the flesh of the sin-offering was boiled must be broken, if it were an earthen one; but if a brazen one, well washed. This showed that the defilement was not wholly taken away by the offering; but the blood of Christ thoroughly cleanses from all sin. All these rules set forth the polluting nature of sin, and the removal of guilt from the sinner to the sacrifice. Behold and wonder at Christ's love, in that he was content to be made a sin-offering for us, and so to procure our pardon for continual sins and failings. He that knew no sin was made sin (that is, a sin-offering) for us, Romans 8:3.
