Leviticus 6:8-13

Evangelical Heritage Version

Additional Regulations for the Offerings

⁸ The Lord spoke to Moses: ⁹ “Command this law to Aaron and his sons.”

For Burnt Offerings

This is the law for the whole burnt offering. It concerns the part of the burnt offering that remains on the altar hearth all night until the morning, while the fire is kept burning on the altar.

¹⁰ After the priest has put on his linen garments and wears linen underclothes next to his flesh, he shall remove the fat-drenched ashes from the burnt offering that remains on the altar after the burning, and he shall place them beside the altar. ¹¹ When he has taken off his garments and put on other clothing, he shall carry the fat-drenched ashes outside the camp to a clean place. ¹² The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it. It is not to go out. Every morning the priest is to burn more wood on it, so that he may lay out the burnt offering on top of it and turn the fat parts of the fellowship offerings into smoke on top of it. ¹³ The fire shall be kept burning continually on the altar. It must not go out.
