Leviticus 6:7–11 · Berean Standard Bible

7 In this way the priest will make atonement for him before the LORD, and he will be forgiven for anything he may have done to incur guilt.”

8 Then the LORD said to Moses,

9 “Command Aaron and his sons that this is the law of the burnt offering: The burnt offering is to remain on the hearth of the altar all night, until morning, and the fire must be kept burning on the altar.

10 And the priest shall put on his linen robe and linen undergarments, and he shall remove from the altar the ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed and place them beside it.

11 Then he must take off his garments, put on other clothes, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place.
