Context of Leviticus 6:16

14It is to be made with oil on a pan. When it is soaked, you shall bring it in. You are to present the grain offering in baked pieces as a soothing aroma to Adonai. 15The anointed kohen who will be in his place from among his sons is to offer it. As an eternal statute, it must be entirely burnt up as smoke to Adonai. Thus every grain offering of a kohen is to be a whole-offering—it shall not be eaten.” 17Adonai spoke to Moses, saying: 18“Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying: ‘This is the Torah of the sin offering. In the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, the sin ­offering is to be slaughtered before Adonai. It is most holy.
