Statutes for the Priest in the Offerings

[a]Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “Command Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is (A)the law for the burnt offering: the burnt offering itself shall remain on the hearth on the altar all night until the morning, and (B)the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it. 10 And the priest shall put on (C)his linen robe, and he shall put on undergarments next to his flesh; and he shall raise up the [b]ashes to which the fire [c]reduces 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 [d]ashes outside the camp to a clean place. 12 And 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 (D)on it. 13 Fire shall be kept burning continually on the altar; it shall not go out.

Additional Regulations for the Offerings

The Lord spoke to Moses: “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.
