1The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2Command Aaron and his sons, saying: This is the law of whole burning. The whole burnt offering shall remain on its burning place on the altar all night until morning, and the altar fire shall burn on it; it shall not be extinguished.
3The priest shall put on a linen tunic and linen undergarments around his body. He shall remove from the altar the residue of the offering that the fire has consumed in the whole burning and place it beside the altar.
4He shall take off his robe, put on another robe, and carry the residue of the offering outside the camp to a clean place.
5The fire on the altar shall burn from it and shall not be extinguished. In the morning the priest shall burn wood on it, pile the whole burnt offering on it, and place on it the fat of the deliverance offering.
6A fire shall burn continually on the altar; it shall not be extinguished.
7This is the law of the sacrifice that Aaron’s sons shall present before the Lord, opposite the altar.
8He shall remove a handful from the sacrifice’s fine flour with its oil and the frankincense upon the sacrifice, and offer it up on the altar as an offering, a fragrant aroma, its memorial portion to the Lord.
9Aaron and his sons shall eat what remains of it. It shall be eaten unleavened in a holy place; they shall eat it in the courtyard of the Tent of Testimony.
10It shall not be baked leavened. I have given it to them as a portion from the Lord’s offerings. It is most holy, like the offering for sin and the offering for offense.
11Every male among the priests may eat it, as a perpetual ordinance throughout your generations from the Lord’s offerings. Everyone who touches them shall be sanctified.
12The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
13This is the gift of Aaron and his sons that they shall present to the Lord on the day you anoint him: a tenth of an oiphi of fine flour as a continual sacrifice, half in the morning and half in the evening.
14It shall be prepared with oil on a griddle; he shall bring it mixed, in rolled pieces, a sacrifice of fragments, a sacrifice as a fragrant aroma to the Lord.
15The priest from among his sons who is anointed in his place shall prepare it. It is a perpetual law; it shall all be fully performed.
16Every sacrifice of a priest shall be wholly burned and shall not be eaten.
17The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
18Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying: This is the law of the sin offering. Where they slaughter the whole burnt offering, they shall slaughter the offerings for sin before the Lord. They are most holy.
19The priest who offers it up shall eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place, in the courtyard of the Tent of Testimony.
20Everyone who touches its meat shall be sanctified. If some of its blood is sprinkled on a garment, what has been sprinkled shall be washed in a holy place.
21An earthenware vessel in which it is boiled shall be shattered. If it is boiled in a bronze vessel, he shall scrub it and rinse it with water.
22Every male among the priests may eat them; they are most holy to the Lord.
23None of the offerings for sin whose blood is brought into the Tent of Testimony to make propitiation in the holy place shall be eaten; they shall be burned up with fire.
