Sacrificial Instructions for the Priests: The Burnt Offering
8 (6:1)[a] Then the Lord spoke to Moses:[b] 9 “Command Aaron and his sons, ‘This is the law of the burnt offering. The burnt offering is to remain on the hearth[c] on the altar all night until morning, and the fire of the altar must be kept burning on it.[d] 10 Then the priest must put on his linen robe and must put linen leggings[e] over his bare flesh, and he must take up the fatty ashes of the burnt offering that the fire consumed on the altar,[f] and he must place them[g] beside the altar.
