Leviticus 6:8-13

Restitution and Priestly Stewardship of the Offerings

The LORD requires restitution for deceptive wrongdoing against neighbors and then commands the priests to steward the continual fire, burnt offering, grain offering, ordination grain offering, and sin offering with holiness and precision.

8 Then the LORD said to Moses,

9 “Command Aaron and his sons that this is the law of the burnt offering: The burnt offering is to remain on the hearth of the altar all night, until morning, and the fire must be kept burning on the altar.

10 And the priest shall put on his linen robe and linen undergarments, and he shall remove from the altar the ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed and place them beside it.

11 Then he must take off his garments, put on other clothes, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place.

12 The fire on the altar shall be kept burning; it must not be extinguished. Every morning the priest is to add wood to the fire, arrange the burnt offering on it, and burn the fat portions of the peace offerings on it.

13 The fire shall be kept burning on the altar continually; it must not be extinguished.
