And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Verse 2

Command Aaron and his sons, saying: This is the law of the burnt offering. The burnt offering shall remain on the hearth of the altar all night until morning, and the fire on the altar must be kept burning.

If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour;

Verse 3

The priest shall put on his linen garment and wear linen undergarments on his body. He shall remove the ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed on the altar and place them beside the altar.

Verse 5

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

Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering: It is the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it.

And he shall take of it his handful, of the flour of the meat offering, and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which is upon the meat offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour, even the memorial of it, unto the LORD.

Verse 16

Every grain offering of a priest shall be burned entirely; it shall not be eaten.

And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: with unleavened bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation they shall eat it.

Verse 17

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

The clay pot in which it is boiled must be broken, but if it is boiled in a bronze pot, it must be scoured and rinsed in water.
