[a]The Lord told Moses, “Deliver these orders to Aaron and his sons concerning the regulations for burnt offerings: The burnt offering is to remain on the hearth of the altar throughout the entire night until morning, and the fire on the altar is to be kept burning along with it. 10 The priest is to clothe himself with a linen robe and undergarments.[b] Then he is to take the ashes of the burnt offering on the altar that had been consumed by the fire and set them beside the altar. 11 Then he is to change his clothes, dressing himself with a different set of clothes, and take the ashes to a clean place outside the camp. 12 The fire on the altar is to be kept burning continuously without being extinguished. The priest is to burn wood on it every morning, arrange burnt offerings over it, and then burn the fat contained in the peace offerings over it. 13 The fire is to continue to burn on the altar and is never to be extinguished.”

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