In this way the priest will make atonement(A) for them before the Lord, and they will be forgiven for any of the things they did that made them guilty.”

The Burnt Offering

The Lord said to Moses: “Give Aaron and his sons this command: ‘These are the regulations for the burnt offering(B): The burnt offering is to remain on the altar hearth throughout the night, till morning, and the fire must be kept burning on the altar.(C) 10 The priest shall then put on his linen clothes,(D) with linen undergarments next to his body,(E) and shall remove the ashes(F) of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed on the altar and place them beside the altar. 11 Then he is to take off these clothes and put on others, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean.(G) 12 The fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must not go out. Every morning the priest is to add firewood(H) and arrange the burnt offering on the fire and burn the fat(I) of the fellowship offerings(J) on it. 13 The fire must be kept burning on the altar continuously; it must not go out.

The Grain Offering

14 “‘These are the regulations for the grain offering:(K) Aaron’s sons are to bring it before the Lord, in front of the altar. 15 The priest is to take a handful of the finest flour and some olive oil, together with all the incense(L) on the grain offering,(M) and burn the memorial[a] portion(N) on the altar as an aroma pleasing to the Lord. 16 Aaron and his sons(O) shall eat the rest(P) of it, but it is to be eaten without yeast(Q) in the sanctuary area;(R) they are to eat it in the courtyard(S) of the tent of meeting.(T)
