Leviticus

Chapter 6

6:1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying:

6:2 Command Aaron and his sons, saying: This is the law of the burnt-offering: it is that which goeth up on its firewood upon the altar all night unto the morning; and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning thereby.

6:3 And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall he put upon his flesh; and he shall take up the ashes whereto the fire hath consumed the burnt-offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.

6:4 And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place.

6:5 And the fire upon the altar shall be kept burning thereby, it shall not go out; and the priest shall kindle wood on it every morning; and he shall lay the burnt-offering in order upon it, and shall make smoke thereon the fat of the peace-offerings.

6:6 Fire shall be kept burning upon the altar continually; it shall not go out.

6:7 And this is the law of the meal-offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the Lord, in front of the altar.

6:8 And he shall take up therefrom his handful, of the fine flour of the meal-offering, and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which is upon the meal-offering, and shall make the memorial-part thereof smoke upon the altar for a sweet savour unto the Lord.

6:9 And that which is left thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat; it shall be eaten without leaven in a holy place; in the court of the tent of meeting they shall eat it.

6:10 It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their portion of My offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as the sin-offering, and as the guilt-offering.

6:11 Every male among the children of Aaron may eat of it, as a due for ever throughout your generations, from the offerings of the Lord made by fire; whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.

6:12 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying:

6:13 This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer unto the Lord in the day when he is anointed: the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering perpetually, half of it in the morning, and half thereof in the evening.

6:14 On a griddle it shall be made with oil; when it is soaked, thou shalt bring it in; in broken pieces shalt thou offer the meal-offering for a sweet savour unto the Lord.

6:15 And the anointed priest that shall be in his stead from among his sons shall offer it, it is a due for ever; it shall be wholly made to smoke unto the Lord.

6:16 And every meal-offering of the priest shall be wholly made to smoke; it shall not be eaten.

6:17 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying:

6:18 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying: This is the law of the sin-offering: in the place where the burnt-offering is killed shall the sin-offering be killed before the Lord; it is most holy.

6:19 The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it; in a holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tent of meeting.

6:20 Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy; and when there is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it was sprinkled in a holy place.

6:21 But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken; and if it be sodden in a brazen vessel, it shall be scoured, and rinsed in water.

6:22 Every male among the priests may eat thereof; it is most holy.

6:23 And no sin-offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the holy place, shall be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire.
