Leviticus 6:8–18

⁸Then^y Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ⁹“Command Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the regulation of the burnt offering: The burnt offering must remain on the hearth^z on the altar all night until the morning, and the altar’s fire must be kept burning on it. ¹⁰And the priest shall put on his linen robe, and he must put his linen undergarments on his body, and he shall take away the fatty ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed on the altar, and he shall place them^a beside the altar. ¹¹And he shall take off his garments and put on other garments, and he shall bring out the fatty ashes outside the camp^b to a ceremonially clean place, ¹²but^c the fire on the altar must be kept burning on it; it must not be quenched. And the priest must burn wood every morning^d on it,^e and he shall arrange the burnt offering on it,^f and he shall turn into smoke the fat portions of the fellowship offerings on it.^{g 13}A perpetual fire must be kept burning on the altar; it must not be quenched.

Additional Laws for Grain Offerings

¹⁴“ ‘And this is the regulation of the grain offering. Aaron’s sons shall present it before^h Yahweh in front ofⁱ the altar, ¹⁵and he^j in his fist shall take away from it some of^k the grain offering’s finely milled flour, and some of^l its oil and all of the frankincense that is on the grain offering, and he shall turn into smoke its token portion on the altar as an appeasing fragrance to Yahweh. ¹⁶And Aaron and his sons must eat the remainder of it; they must eat it as unleavened bread in a holy place—in the tent of assembly’s courtyard they must eat it. ¹⁷It must not be baked with yeast. I have given it as their share from my offerings made by fire. It is a most holy thing,^m like the sin offering and like the guilt offering. ¹⁸Every male among Aaron’s sons may eat it as a lasting rule among your generations from the offerings made by fire belonging toⁿ Yahweh. Anything that^o touches them will become holy.’ ”
