Leviticus 6:5-16 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

5. or whatever you made a false promise about. You must pay the full price and then add one-fifth of that amount as a fine and give it all to the true owner.

6. You must also bring a ram to the Lord that has nothing wrong with it (or the same amount in silver) to the priest.

7. Then the priest will go to the Lord to make you pure, and God will forgive you for whichever of these things you did that made you guilty.”

8. The Lord said to Moses,

9. “Give this command to Aaron and his sons: This is the law of the burnt offering. The burnt offering must stay on the hearth of the altar all night until morning. The altar’s fire must be kept burning.

10. The priest must change clothes and put on the special linen underwear and linen robe. Then he must gather up the ashes from the fire and burnt offerings and set them down by the altar.

11. Then he must take off the special clothes and put on the other clothes and carry the ashes outside the camp to a special place that is pure.

12. The fire that was started on the altar must never be allowed to stop burning. Every morning the priests must put wood on the altar. They must arrange the burnt offerings on the wood, and they must burn the fat of the fellowship offerings on it.

13. That fire must always be kept burning on the altar. It must never be allowed to stop burning.

14. “This is the law for the grain offering: The sons of Aaron will bring it to the front of the altar as an offering to the Lord.

15. There must be some oil and frankincense on the grain offering. The priest will take a handful of fine flour from the grain offering and burn it on the altar as a sweet-smelling memorial offering to the Lord.

16. “Aaron and his sons will use the rest of that grain to make bread without yeast. This must be eaten in a holy place—in the courtyard around the Meeting Tent.
