The Burnt Offering

(Leviticus 1:1–17)

Then the LORD said to Moses 9 “Command Aaron and his sons [that] this is the law of the burnt offering: The burnt offering is to remain on the hearth of the altar all night, until morning, and the fire must be kept burning on the altar

10 

And the priest shall put on his linen robe and linen undergarments and he shall remove from the altar the ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed and place them beside [it]. 11 Then he must take off his garments, put on other clothes, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place.

12 

The fire on the altar shall be kept burning it must not be extinguished. Every morning the priest is to add wood to the fire, arrange the burnt offering on it, and burn the fat portions of the peace offerings on it. 13 The fire shall be kept burning on the altar continually; it must not be extinguished.
