Leviticus 6:7-17

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.
13 The fire must always be burning on the altar. It must never go out.
14 "These are the instructions for the grain offering. Aaron's sons must bring it into the LORD's presence in front of the altar.
15 One of them will remove a handful of flour from the grain offering, together with the olive oil and all the incense. He will burn it on the altar as a reminder. It is a soothing aroma to the LORD.
16 Aaron and his sons will eat the rest of it. They will eat unleavened bread in a holy place, in the courtyard of the tent of meeting.
17 Don't use yeast in baking the bread. I have given it to them as their share from the offerings by fire made to me. It is very holy like the offering for sin and the guilt offering.
