Open English Translation LEV Chapter 6

8 Then Yahweh told Mosheh, 9 “Tell Aharon (Aaron) and his sons that these are the regulations for the burnt offerings: The burnt offering must remain on the altar’s hearth, on the altar all night until the morning and the fire must be kept burning on it. 10 Then the priest must put on his linen underwear and linen robe and remove the fatty ashes from the burnt offerings on the altar, and pile them beside it. 11 After that, he’ll get changed again into his regular clothes and take those ashes outside the camp to a ‘clean’ place. 12 Meanwhile, the fire on the altar must be kept burning—it must never go out. Every morning the priest must put more wood on the fire, then he must arrange more offerings on the fire—he should burn the fat of the fellowship offerings on that fire so the smoke rises. 13 Yes, the fire must burn continually on the altar—never going out.

14 “Here’s the regulations for the grain offering: Aharon’s sons must present it before Yahweh in front of the altar. 15 The priest must take a handful of the flour from that grain offering, being sure it includes some of the oil and the incense, and burn it on the altar as a memorial portion to become a pleasing aroma for Yahweh. 16 The remainder of that flour will be used as food for Aharon and his sons—they must eat the flat bread in a sacred place, i.e., in the courtyard of the sacred tent. 17 It must not be baked with any rising agent. I give that to them from what’s given to me. It’s very sacred just like the sin offering and the guilt offering. 18 Any of Aharon’s male descendants can eat it—it’ll be their portion from Yahweh’s gifts throughout the generations. Anyone who touches Yahweh’s gifts will become sacred themself.”

19 Then Yahweh told Mosheh, 20 “On the day when one of Aharon’s male descendants is consecrated as a priest, this is what he must present to Yahweh: a continual grain offering of a kilogram of fine wheat flour—half for the morning and half for the evening. 21 It must be mixed with olive oil then cooked with oil on a flat pan. It must then be broken into pieces and presented as a grain offering to make a pleasing aroma for Yahweh. 22 The priest who’s next in line to become high priest must offer it and it must be completely burnt for Yahweh. This is a permanent regulation. 23 Any grain offering by a priest must be completely burnt—it must not be eaten.”

24 Then Yahweh told Mosheh, 25 “Tell Aharon and his sons that these are the regulations for the sin offerings: The sin offering must be slaughtered in front of Yahweh at the place where the burnt offerings are slaughtered. It’s a very sacred activity. 26 The priest who offers the sin offering must be the one to eat it. It must be eaten in a sacred place, i.e., in the courtyard of the sacred tent. 27 Everything that touches the animal’s body will become sacred. Anyone who gets the blood on their clothes, must wash them in a sacred place. 28 Any clay pot that it’s been boiled in, must then be shattered, but if it’s boiled in a bronze pot, then that must be scoured and rinsed with water. 29 Any male in the priests’ families may eat it—it’s very sacred. 30 However, every sin offering that has its blood taken inside the sacred tent to make someone right with God, then that meat mustn’t be eaten—it must be completely burnt up.
