Leviticus 6:3-13

3 or if he has found something lost and lies about it and swears falsely regarding any of these sins that people commonly commit -

4 when he sins and is found guilty, he must return what he stole or extorted, restore what was entrusted to him, return the lost thing he found,

5 or anything else about which he swore falsely. He must make full compensation, add twenty percent to it, and hand it over to the owner on the same day he brings his Compensation-Offering.

6 He must present to God as his Compensation-Offering a ram without any defect from the flock, assessed at the value of a Compensation-Offering.

7 "Thus the priest will make atonement for him before God and he's forgiven of any of the things that one does that bring guilt." Further Instructions

8 God spoke to Moses,

9 "Command Aaron and his sons. Tell them, These are the instructions for the Whole-Burnt-Offering. Leave the Whole-Burnt-Offering on the Altar hearth through the night until morning, with the fire kept burning on the Altar.

10 Then dress in your linen clothes with linen underwear next to your body. Remove the ashes remaining from the Whole-Burnt-Offering and place them beside the Altar.

11 Then change clothes and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place.

12 Meanwhile keep the fire on the Altar burning; it must not go out. Replenish the wood for the fire every morning, arrange the Whole-Burnt-Offering on it, and burn the fat of the Peace-Offering on top of it all.

13 Keep the fire burning on the Altar continuously. It must not go out.
