Context of Leviticus 6:17

15A priest must take some of the flour and oil. He must mix this special part with incense and he must burn all of it on the altar. The smell of them while they are burning will give the Lord pleasure. 16The priests will make into bread the flour that he did not burn. They must not use yeast to make the bread.

And it is like the gifts when somebody does anything wrong. 18Any son, grandson or male of Aaron's family can eat the bread. It is his usual part of the burnt offerings to the Lord. A person who touches the bread will become holy.’ 19The Lord said to Moses,
