And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most holy:
Moses spoke to Aaron and to his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, saying, 'Take the grain offering that's left over from the sacrifices made to the LORD by fire, and eat it without yeast beside the altar, because it is completely sacred.'
Moses is instructing Aaron and his surviving sons to properly handle and eat the sacred grain offerings according to God's commands, treating them as completely holy.
