10 And the Priest shall put on his linen garment, and shall put on his linen breeches upon [b]his flesh, and take away the ashes when the fire hath consumed the burnt offering upon the altar, and he shall put them beside the [c]altar.

11 After, he shall put off his garments, and put on other raiment, and carry the ashes forth without the host unto a clean place.
