Leviticus 6
1 The LORD spoke to Moses:
2 “Command Aaron and his sons: ‘This is the regulation for the burnt offering. The burnt offering shall remain on the hearth, on the altar, all night until morning, and the altar fire shall be kept burning on it.
3 The priest shall put on his linen tunic and linen undergarments next to his body. He shall gather the ashes left by the fire from the burnt offering on the altar and place them beside the altar.
4 Then he shall take off his garments, put on other clothes, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place.
5 The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it must not go out. Every morning the priest shall add wood to it, arrange the burnt offering on it, and burn the fat of the fellowship offerings there.
6 A continual fire shall be kept burning on the altar; it must not go out.
7 This is the regulation for the grain offering. Aaron’s sons shall present it before the LORD, in front of the altar.
8 The priest shall take a handful of its fine flour and oil, together with all the frankincense on the grain offering. He shall burn the memorial portion on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
9 Aaron and his sons shall eat what remains of it. It shall be eaten unleavened, in a holy place; they shall eat it in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting.
10 It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it to them as their share of my offerings made by fire. It is most holy, like the sin offering and the guilt offering.
11 Every male among Aaron’s sons may eat it. This is a permanent decree for your generations, from the LORD’s offerings made by fire. Whatever touches them shall become holy.’”
12 The LORD spoke to Moses:
13 “This is the offering that Aaron and his sons shall present to the LORD on the day he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half in the morning and half in the evening.
14 It shall be prepared with oil on a griddle. You shall bring it well mixed, and offer the grain offering in baked pieces as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
15 The anointed priest who succeeds him, one of his sons, shall prepare it. This is a permanent decree of the LORD: it shall be burned entirely.
16 Every grain offering made by a priest shall be burned entirely; it must not be eaten.”
17 The LORD spoke to Moses:
18 “Speak to Aaron and his sons: ‘This is the regulation for the sin offering. The sin offering shall be slaughtered before the LORD in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered. It is most holy.
19 The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place, in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting.
20 Whatever touches its flesh shall become holy; and if its blood spatters on a garment, you shall wash that garment in a holy place.
21 The clay vessel in which it is cooked shall be broken; but if it is cooked in a bronze vessel, that vessel shall be scrubbed and rinsed with water.
22 Every male among the priests may eat it. It is most holy.
23 But no sin offering whose blood is brought into the Tent of Meeting to make atonement in the sanctuary may be eaten; it shall be burned in the fire.’”
