Leviticus 6:8-30 — Instructions for the Offerings

Lev.6.8-30

⁸Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ⁹Command Aaron and his sons: This is the law of the burnt offering. The burnt offering shall remain on the hearth upon the altar all night until morning, and the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it. ¹⁰The priest shall put on his linen garment and linen undergarments next to his body, and he shall remove the ashes to which the fire has reduced the burnt offering on the altar and place them beside the altar. ¹¹Then he shall take off his garments, put on other garments, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place. ¹²The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not go out. Every morning the priest shall burn wood on it, arrange the burnt offering on it, and burn on it the fat portions of the peace offerings. ¹³Fire shall be kept burning continually on the altar; it shall not go out. ¹⁴This is the law of the grain offering: Aaron's sons shall present it before the LORD, in front of the altar. ¹⁵He shall take from it a handful of the fine flour of the grain offering and some of its oil, with all the frankincense that is on the grain offering, and burn its memorial portion on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the LORD. ¹⁶Aaron and his sons shall eat what is left of it. It shall be eaten without leaven in a holy place; they shall eat it in the court of the tent of meeting. ¹⁷It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their portion from my food offerings. It is most holy, like the sin offering and the guilt offering. ¹⁸Every male among Aaron's sons may eat it. It is a permanent due throughout your generations from the food offerings of the LORD. Whatever touches them shall become holy . ¹⁹Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁰This is the offering that Aaron and his sons shall offer to the LORD on the day when he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening. ²¹It shall be made with oil on a griddle. You shall bring it well-mixed. You shall present the grain offering in baked pieces as a pleasing aroma to the LORD. ²²The anointed priest who succeeds him from among his sons shall prepare it. This is a permanent statute for the LORD; it shall be entirely burned. ²³Every grain offering of a priest shall be a whole offering; it shall not be eaten. ²⁴Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁵Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying: This is the law of the sin offering: in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, the sin offering shall be slaughtered before the LORD. It is most holy. ²⁶The 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. ²⁷Whatever touches its flesh shall become holy, and if any of its blood is splashed on a garment, you shall wash in a holy place whatever was splashed on. ²⁸The clay vessel in which it is boiled shall be broken, but if it is boiled in a bronze vessel, that vessel shall be scoured and rinsed with water. ²⁹Every male among the priests may eat it. It is most holy. ³⁰But any sin offering whose blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the holy place shall not be eaten; it shall be burned up in the fire.
