How does Leviticus 10:12 function within the chapter?

Lévitique 10:12 (NEG79)

12 Moïse dit à Aaron, à Eléazar et à Ithamar, les deux fils qui restaient à Aaron: Prenez ce qui reste de l'offrande parmi les sacrifices consumés par le feu devant l'Eternel, et mangez-le sans levain près de l'autel: car c'est une chose très sainte.

In this section, Moses addresses Aaron’s remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar. In Leviticus 9:4 and Leviticus 9:17, the priests had offered a grain offering on the eighth day of their ordination. Nothing was said on that occasion as to what was to be done with the remainder of it. Now they are told that it is their portion to eat. They are to eat it at the altar.
