Leviticus 6:8–14

The Priest’s Part in the Offerings

⁸¹Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

⁹“Command Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is ^athe law for the burnt offering: the burnt offering itself shall remain on the hearth on the altar all night until the morning, and ^bthe fire on the altar is to be kept burning on it.

¹⁰‘The priest is to put on ^ahis linen robe, and he shall put on undergarments next to his flesh; and he shall take up the ¹ashes to which the fire ²reduces the burnt offering on the altar and place them beside the altar.

¹¹‘Then he shall take off his garments and put on other garments, and carry the ¹ashes outside the camp to a clean place.

¹²‘The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it. It shall not go out, but the priest shall burn wood on it every morning; and he shall lay out the burnt offering on it, and offer up in smoke the fat portions of the peace offerings ^aon it.

¹³‘Fire shall be kept burning continually on the altar; it is not to go out.

¹⁴‘Now this is the law of the grain offering: the sons of Aaron shall present it before the Lord in front of the altar.
