Leviticus 6
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Charge Aaron and his sons, saying,
This is the law of whole-burnt-offering; this is the
whole-burnt-offering in its burning on the altar all the night till the
morning; and the fire of the altar shall burn on it, it shall not be put out.
3 And the priest shall put on the
linen tunic, and he shall put the linen drawers on his body; and shall take
away that which has been thoroughly burnt, which the fire shall have consumed,
even the whole-burnt-offering from the altar, and he shall put it near the
altar. 4 And he shall put off his
robe, and put on another robe, and he shall take forth the offering that has
been burnt without the camp into a clean place.
5 And the fire on the altar shall be
kept burning on it, and shall not be extinguished; and the priest shall burn
on it wood every morning, and shall heap on it the whole-burnt-offering, and
shall lay on it the fat of the peace-offering.
6 And the fire shall always burn on
the altar; it shall not be extinguished.
7 This is the law of the sacrifice,
which the sons of Aaron shall bring near before the Lord, before the altar.
8 And he shall take from it a handful
of the fine flour of the sacrifice with its oil, and with all its
frankincense, which are upon the sacrifice; and he shall offer up on the altar
a burnt-offering as a sweet-smelling savour, a memorial of it to the Lord.
9 And Aaron and his sons shall eat
that which is left of it: it shall be eaten without leaven in a holy place,
they shall eat it in the court of the tabernacle of witness.
10 It shall not be baked with leaven.
I have given it as a portion to them of the burnt-offerings of the Lord: it is
most holy, as the offering for sin, and as the offering for trespass.
11 Every male of the priests shall
eat it: it is a perpetual ordinance throughout your generations of the
burnt-offerings of the Lord; whosoever shall touch them shall be hallowed.
12 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
saying, 13 This is the gift of Aaron
and of his sons, which they shall offer to the Lord in the day in which thou
shalt anoint him; the tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a sacrifice
continually, the half of it in the morning, and the half of it in the evening.
14 It shall be made with oil in a
frying-pan; he shall offer it kneaded and in rolls,
an offering of fragments, an offering of a sweet savour unto the Lord.
15 The anointed priest who is in his
place, one of his sons, shall offer it: it is a
perpetual statute, it shall all be consumed.
16 And every sacrifice of a priest
shall be thoroughly burnt, and shall not be eaten.
17 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
saying, 18 Speak to Aaron and to his
sons, saying, This is the law of the sin-offering;—in the place where they
slay the whole-burnt-offering, they shall slay the sin-offerings before the
Lord: they are most holy. 19 The
priest that offers it shall eat it: in a holy place it shall be eaten, in the
court of the tabernacle of witness.
20 Every one that touches the flesh
of it shall be holy, and on whosesoever garment any of its blood shall have
been sprinkled, whosoever shall have it sprinkled, shall be washed in the holy
place. 21 And the earthen vessel, in
whichsoever it shall have been sodden, shall be broken; and if it shall have
been sodden in a brazen vessel, he shall scour it and wash it with water.
22 Every male among the priests shall
eat it: it is most holy to the Lord.
23 And no offerings for sin, of whose
blood there shall be brought any into the tabernacle of witness to make
atonement in the holy place, shall be eaten: they shall be burned with fire.
