The Priests and the Offerings
8 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
9
"Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering. The burnt offering shall be on the hearth on the altar all night until the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it.
10
And
1the priest shall put on his linen garment and put his linen undergarment on his body, and he shall take up the ashes to which the fire has reduced the burnt offering on the altar and put them
2beside the altar.
11
Then
3he shall take off his garments and put on other garments and carry the ashes
4outside the camp to a clean place.
12
The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not go out. The priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and he shall arrange the burnt offering on it and shall burn on it
5the fat of the peace offerings.
13
Fire shall be kept burning on the altar continually; it shall not go out.
14
"And this is the law of
6the grain offering. The sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD in front of the altar.
15
And one shall take from it a handful of the fine flour of the grain offering and its oil and all the frankincense that is on the grain offering and burn this as its
7memorial portion on the altar, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
16
And
8the rest of it Aaron and his sons shall eat. It shall be eaten unleavened
9in a holy place. In the court of the tent of meeting they shall eat it.
17
10It shall not be baked with leaven.
11I have given it as their portion of my food offerings.
12It is a thing most holy, like the sin offering and the guilt offering.
18
Every male among the children of Aaron may eat of it, as decreed forever throughout your generations, from the LORD's food offerings. Whatever touches them shall become holy."
19
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
20
13"This is the offering that Aaron and his sons shall offer to the LORD on the day when he is anointed: a
14tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening.
21
It shall be made with oil
15on a griddle. You shall bring it
16well mixed, in baked pieces like a grain offering, and offer it for a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
22
The priest from among Aaron's sons, who is anointed to succeed him, shall offer it to the LORD as decreed forever.
17The whole of it shall be burned.
23
Every grain offering of a priest shall be wholly burned. It shall not be eaten."
24
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
25
"Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying,
18This is the law of the sin offering.
19In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed before the LORD;
20it is most holy.
26
21The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it.
22In a holy place it shall be eaten, in the court of the tent of meeting.
27
Whatever touches its flesh shall be holy, and when any of its blood is splashed on a garment, you shall wash that on which it was splashed in a holy place.
28
And
23the earthenware vessel in which it is boiled
24shall be broken. But if it is boiled in a bronze vessel, that shall be scoured and rinsed in water.
29
Every male among the priests may eat of it;
25it is most holy.
30
26But no sin offering shall be eaten from which any blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place; it shall be burned up with fire.
