Leviticus 6:2-12

2 "If any of you sin against the LORD by failing to do your duty, if you lie to your neighbor about something you were supposed to take care of or if you lie about something stolen or seized from your neighbor, you are sinning and will be guilty.
3 If you find something that someone lost and lie about it under oath, or commit any other sin like this,
4 you are sinning and will be guilty. Return what you stole or seized, what you were supposed to take care of, the lost item you found,
5 or whatever it was that you swore falsely about. Pay it back in full plus one-fifth more. Give it back to its owner on the day you bring your guilt offering.
6 Then bring the LORD your guilt offering, a ram that has no defects or its value in money. Bring it to the priest.
7 So the priest will make peace with the LORD. Then you will be forgiven for whatever you did that made you guilty."
8 The LORD spoke to Moses,
9 "Command Aaron and his sons: These are the instructions for the burnt offering that stays on the altar overnight while the altar fire is kept burning.
10 "The priest must put on his linen clothes, including his linen undergarments. Then he will remove the ashes left on the altar from the fire that consumed the burnt offering and will put them next to the altar.
11 Then he will take off these clothes and put on some others. He will take the ashes to a clean place outside the camp.
12 The fire must always be burning on the altar. It must never go out. The priest will burn wood on it every morning. He will lay the burnt offering on the fire and burn the fat of the fellowship offering.
