Leviticus 6

The Daily Burnt Offering. 1The Lord said to Moses: 2#This passage may have reference to the burnt offering that is offered in the morning and late afternoon each day (cf. Ex 29:38–42; Nm 28:3–8). #Lv 1. Give Aaron and his sons the following command: This is the ritual#Ritual: Hebrew torah, which also has the broader meaning of “instruction.” The treatment of sacrifices in chaps. 6–7 recapitulates the offerings treated in 1–5 but now with more emphasis on priestly duties and prerogatives. for the burnt offering—the burnt offering that is to remain on the hearth of the altar all night until the next morning, while the fire is kept burning on the altar. 3The priest, clothed in his linen robe and wearing linen pants underneath, shall take away the ashes to which the fire has reduced the burnt offering on the altar, and lay them at the side of the altar. 4Then, having taken off these garments and put on other garments, he shall carry the ashes to a clean place outside the camp. 5The fire on the altar is to be kept burning; it must not go out. Every morning the priest shall put firewood on it. On this he shall lay out the burnt offering#Lv 9:17. and burn the fat of the communion offering. 6The fire is to be kept burning continuously on the altar; it must not go out.
The Grain Offering.#The passage is apparently concerned with the raw grain offering of 2:1–3. 7This is the ritual of the grain offering. Aaron’s sons shall offer it before the Lord, in front of the altar. 8A priest shall then take from the grain offering a handful of bran flour and oil, together with all the frankincense that is on it,#Lv 2:1–3. and this he shall burn on the altar as a token of the offering, a sweet aroma to the Lord. 9The rest of it Aaron and his sons may eat; but it must be eaten unleavened in a sacred place:#Lv 6:19; 7:6; 10:13, 17; 24:9. in the court of the tent of meeting they shall eat it. 10It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it to them as their portion from the oblations for the Lord; it is most holy,#Lv 2:3. like the purification offering and the reparation offering. 11Every male of Aaron’s descendants may eat of it perpetually throughout your generations as their rightful due from the oblations for the Lord. Whatever touches the oblations becomes holy.
High Priest’s Daily Grain Offering.#This seems to refer to a grain offering offered twice daily by the high priest, perhaps identical to the regular grain offering in Nm 4:16 (cf. Neh 10:34). This offering is distinct from the grain offering that accompanies the daily burnt offering. 12The Lord said to Moses: 13This is the offering that Aaron and his sons shall present to the Lord on the day he is anointed: one tenth of an ephah of bran flour for the regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening. 14You shall bring it well kneaded and fried in oil on a griddle.#Lv 2:5. Having broken the offering into pieces, you shall present it as a sweet aroma to the Lord. 15The anointed priest descended from Aaron who succeeds him shall do likewise. This is the Lord’s due forever. The offering shall be wholly burned.#Lv 2:9. 16Every grain offering of a priest shall be a whole offering; it may not be eaten.
Purification Offerings.#There are two types of purification offering: one whose blood is used inside the tent sanctuary (4:1–12, 13–21) and another whose blood was only used at the outer sacrificial altar (4:22–26, 27–31, 32–35). The carcasses of the former, as well as of purification offerings brought by the priests themselves (cf. 8:14–17; 9:8–11), are not eaten by priests but disposed of at the ash heap outside the camp, which itself is set up around the sanctuary (Ex 29:14; Lv 4:11–12, 21; 6:23; 8:17; 9:11; 16:27). The Letter to the Hebrews compares Jesus’ suffering “outside the gate” to the disposal of purification offering carcasses outside the camp (Heb 13:11–13). 17The Lord said to Moses: 18#Lv 4:1–5:13. Tell Aaron and his sons: This is the ritual for the purification offering. At the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, there also, before the Lord, shall the purification offering be slaughtered. It is most holy.#Lv 2:3. 19The priest who offers the purification offering shall eat of it; it shall be eaten in a sacred place,#Lv 6:9. in the court of the tent of meeting. 20Whatever touches its flesh becomes holy. If any of its blood spatters on a garment, the stained part must be washed in a sacred place. 21A clay vessel in which it has been boiled shall be broken; if it is boiled in a copper vessel, this shall be scoured afterward and rinsed with water.#Lv 11:32–33; 15:12. 22Every male of the priestly line may eat it. It is most holy. 23But no purification offering of which some blood has been brought into the tent of meeting#Lv 4:5; Heb 13:11. to make atonement in the sanctuary shall be eaten; it must be burned with fire.#Lv 4:11–12, 21; 8:17; 9:11; 16:27.
