Quick answer
Every grain offering cooked in an oven, pan, or griddle belongs to the priest who presents it. The one who serves receives a tangible share.
Overview
Grain offerings prepared by baking were assigned to the officiating priest as his portion, distinct from the uncooked grain offerings described next. This provided daily bread for those who had no land inheritance but served at the sanctuary. Like the earlier shares, it embodies the principle that God provides for His ministers through the worship of His people.
