Leviticus 6:9-29

9“Command Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is 1the law for the burnt offering: the burnt offering itself shall remain on the hearth on the altar all night until the morning, and 2the fire on the altar is to be kept burning on it. 10The priest is to put on 3his linen robe, and he shall put on undergarments next to his flesh; and he shall take up the 4ashes to which the fire 5reduces the burnt offering on the altar and place them beside the altar. 11Then he shall take off his garments and put on other garments, and carry the 6ashes outside the camp to a clean place. 12The 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 7on it. 13Fire shall be kept burning continually on the altar; it is not to go out.

14‘Now this is the law of the grain offering: the sons of Aaron shall present it before the Lord in front of the altar. 158Then one of them shall lift up from it a handful of the fine flour of the grain offering, 9with its oil and all the incense that is on the grain offering, and he shall offer it up in smoke on the altar, a soothing aroma, as its memorial offering to the Lord. 1610What is left of it Aaron and his sons are to eat. It shall be eaten as unleavened cakes in a holy place; they are to eat it in the court of the tent of meeting. 1711It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their share from My offerings by fire; 12it is most holy, like the sin offering and 13the guilt offering. 1814Every male among the sons of Aaron may eat it; it is a permanent ordinance throughout your generations, from the offerings by fire to the Lord. 15Whoever touches them will become consecrated.’”

19Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 20“This is the offering which Aaron and his sons are to present to the Lord on the day when he is anointed; the tenth of an 16ephah of fine flour as 17a 18regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening. 21It shall be prepared with oil on a 19griddle. When it is well stirred, you shall bring it. You shall present the grain offering in baked pieces as a soothing aroma to the Lord. 22The anointed priest who will be in his place 20among his sons shall 21offer it. By a permanent ordinance it shall be entirely offered up in smoke to the Lord. 23So every grain offering of the priest shall be burned entirely. It shall not be eaten.”

24Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 25“Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘This is the law of the sin offering: 22in the place where the burnt offering is slain the sin offering shall be slain before the Lord; it is most holy. 2623The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place, in the court of the tent of meeting. 2724Anyone who touches its flesh will become consecrated; and when any of its blood 25splashes on a garment, in a holy place you shall wash what was splashed on. 28Also 26the earthenware vessel in which it was boiled shall be broken; and if it was boiled in a bronze vessel, then it shall be scoured and rinsed in water. 2927Every male among the priests may eat of it; 28it is most holy.
