Leviticus 6:8–18

THE BURNT OFFERING

⁸The Lord spoke to Moses: ⁹“Command Aaron and his sons: This is the law of the burnt offering; the burnt offering itself must remain on the altar’s hearth all night until morning, while the fire of the altar is kept burning on it. ¹⁰The priest is to put on his linen robe and linen undergarments.^Baf He is to remove the ashes of the burnt offering the fire has consumed on the altar, and place them beside the altar. ¹¹Then he will take off his garments, put on other clothes,^ag and bring the ashes outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place. ¹²The fire on the altar is to be kept burning; it must not go out. Every morning the priest will burn wood on the fire. He is to arrange the burnt offering on the fire and burn the fat portions from the fellowship offerings^a on it. ¹³Fire must be kept burning on the altar continually; it must not go out.

THE GRAIN OFFERING

¹⁴“Now this is the law of the grain offering:^b Aaron’s sons will present it before the Lord in front of the altar. ¹⁵The priest is to remove a handful of fine flour and olive oil from the grain offering, with all the frankincense that is on the offering, and burn its memorial portion on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. ¹⁶Aaron and his sons may eat the rest of it.^c It is to be eaten in the form of unleavened bread^d in a holy place;^e they are to eat it in the courtyard^f of the tent of meeting. ¹⁷It must not be baked with yeast; I have assigned it as their portion^g from my food offerings.^h It is especially holy, like the sin offeringⁱ and the guilt offering. ¹⁸Any male among Aaron’s descendants^j may eat it. It is a permanent portion^Ak throughout your generations from the food offerings to the Lord. Anything that touches the offerings will become holy.”^l
