The anointed priest who succeeds him is to prepare it. It is the Lord's perpetual share and is to be burned completely. The perpetual nature of the priestly ordination grain offering extends beyond the first high priest to every anointed priest who succeeds him. The high priestly ordination offering is not a one-time inaugural act but a continuing obligation: every generation of high priests brings the same ordination grain offering. The burned completely requirement distinguishes the priestly ordination grain offering from the congregation's grain offerings, which are partially eaten by the priests. When the priest is offering his own grain offering, he cannot also eat it: the one who benefits from the congregation's offering cannot benefit from his own.
