“And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it is thy due, and thy sons’ due, of the sacrifices of the Lord made by fire: for so I am commanded.”
Eat it without yeast beside the altar, for it is your share and your sons' share of the food offerings presented to the Lord; that is what I have been commanded. The grain offering portions are eaten without yeast beside the altar — following the regulations of Leviticus 6:16. The priestly share of the offering is Moses' command, not his personal decision: that is what I have been commanded. Moses is not making ad hoc arrangements in a crisis but executing the divine instructions that were given for exactly this situation. The regulations that seemed abstract when given become essential in the moment of the first test of the priestly system.
