Two Meal-Offerings on the Altar at Aaron's Consecration

Sifra, Mekhilta deMiluim II 12

12) (Vayikra 9:17): "and he smoked it upon the altar aside from the burnt-offering of the morning": What does this come to teach us? If about the daily meal-offering, it is already written (Bamidbar 28:5): "and a tenth of an ephah of flour for the meal-offering." If to teach us about the meal-offering of the burnt-offering, it is already written (Bamidbar 28:16 above): "And he presented the burnt-offering and he offered it according to the ordinance." Why, then, is it written? To teach us that two meal-offerings are sacrificed one after the other.
