Leviticus 6 · Parashat Tzav

And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,

Command Aharon and his sons, saying, This is the Tora of the burnt offering: It is the burnt offering, which shall be burning upon the altar all night until the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning in it.

And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall he put on his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire has consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.

And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place.

And the fire upon the altar shall be kept burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings.

The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.

And this is the Tora of the meal offering: the sons of Aharon shall offer it before the Lord, before the altar.

And he shall lift from it his handful, of the flour of the meal offering, and of its oil, and all the frankincense which is upon the meal offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour, even the memorial part of it, to the Lord.

And the remainder of it shall Aharon and his sons eat: with unleavened bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the Tent of Meeting they shall eat it.

It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it to them for their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin offering, and the guilt offering.

All the males among the children of Aharon shall eat of it. It shall be a fixed portion throughout your generations of the offerings of the Lord made by fire: everyone that touches them shall be holy.

And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,

This is the offering of Aharon and of his sons, which they shall offer to the Lord on the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an efa of fine flour for a meal offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and half of it at night.

In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is well soaked, thou shalt bring it in: and the baked pieces of the meal offering shalt thou offer for a sweet savour to the Lord.

And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his place shall offer it: it is a statute for ever to the Lord; it shall be wholly burnt.

For every meal offering of the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten.

And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,

Speak to Aharon and to his sons, saying, This is the Tora of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed before the Lord: it is most holy.

The priest that offers it for sin shall eat it: in the holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the Tent of Meeting.

Whatever shall touch its flesh shall be holy: and when there is sprinkled of its blood upon any garment, thou shalt wash that on which it was sprinkled in the holy place.

But the earthen vessel in which it is boiled shall be broken: and if it be boiled in a brass pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water.

All the males among the priests shall eat of it: it is most holy.

And no sin offering, of which any of the blood is brought into the Tent of Meeting to be sprinkled in the holy place, shall be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.
