Verse 19

"And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, This is the oblation of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer unto Jehovah in the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering perpetually, half of it in the morning, and half thereof in the evening. On a baking-pan it shall be made with oil; when it is soaked, thou shalt bring it in: in broken pieces shalt thou offer the meal-offering for a sweet-savor unto Jehovah. And the anointed priest that shall be in his stead from among his sons shall offer it: by a statute forever it shall be wholly burnt unto Jehovah. And every meal-offering of the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten."

"In broken pieces ..." (Leviticus 6:21) is of uncertain translation. Wenham suggested "you shall crumble it" as the possible meaning;[15] and Bamberger suggested "baked slices" as an alternative.[16]

The morning and evening sacrifice of the High Priest's offering corresponds, in a sense, to the morning and evening sacrifices for all Israel, and one of the reasons for this lay in the need to remind the High Priest that he, no less than the whole nation, continually needed the forgiveness of God.
