This verse requires griddle preparation with oil and broken baked pieces.

  • Leviticus 6:14-23

Start with 6:14-23 rather than Leviticus 6:21 alone. In that complete movement, this verse requires griddle preparation with oil and broken baked pieces. The unit's controlling claim is: Priests burn a memorial portion, eat the unleavened remainder in a holy place, and wholly burn the anointed priest's daily grain gift.

Why It Needs Context

Leviticus 6:21 requires griddle preparation with oil and broken baked pieces; reading it alone would sever that detail from the actors, category, and outcome in Leviticus 6:14-23.
