9 Command H6680 Aaron H175 and his sons, H1121 saying, H559 This is the law H8451 of the burnt offering: H5930 It is the burnt offering, H5930 because of the burning H4169 upon the altar H4196 all night H3915 unto the morning, H1242 and the fire H784 of the altar H4196 shall be burning H3344 in it.
10 And the priest H3548 shall put H3847 on his linen H906 garment, H4055 and his linen H906 breeches H4370 shall he put H3847 upon his flesh, H1320 and take up H7311 the ashes H1880 which the fire H784 hath consumed H398 with the burnt offering H5930 on the altar, H4196 and he shall put H7760 them beside H681 the altar. H4196
11 And he shall put off H6584 his garments, H899 and put on H3847 other H312 garments, H899 and carry forth H3318 the ashes H1880 without H2351 the camp H4264 unto a clean H2889 place. H4725
12 And the fire H784 upon the altar H4196 shall be burning H3344 in it; it shall not be put out: H3518 and the priest H3548 shall burn H1197 wood H6086 on it every morning, H1242 and lay the burnt offering H5930 in order H6186 upon it; and he shall burn H6999 thereon the fat H2459 of the peace offerings. H8002
13 The fire H784 shall ever H8548 be burning H3344 upon the altar; H4196 it shall never go out. H3518
14 And this is the law H8451 of the meat offering: H4503 the sons H1121 of Aaron H175 shall offer H7126 it before H6440 the LORD, H3068 before H6440 the altar. H4196
15 And he shall take H7311 of it his handful, H7062 of the flour H5560 of the meat offering, H4503 and of the oil H8081 thereof, and all the frankincense H3828 which is upon the meat offering, H4503 and shall burn H6999 it upon the altar H4196 for a sweet H5207 savour, H7381 even the memorial H234 of it, unto the LORD. H3068
16 And the remainder H3498 thereof shall Aaron H175 and his sons H1121 eat: H398 with unleavened bread H4682 shall it be eaten H398 in the holy H6918 place; H4725 in the court H2691 of the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 they shall eat H398 it.
17 It shall not be baken H644 with leaven. H2557 I have given H5414 it unto them for their portion H2506 of my offerings made by fire; H801 it is most H6944 holy, H6944 as is the sin offering, H2403 and as the trespass offering. H817
18 All the males H2145 among the children H1121 of Aaron H175 shall eat H398 of it. It shall be a statute H2706 for ever H5769 in your generations H1755 concerning the offerings H801 of the LORD H3068 made by fire: H801 every one that toucheth H5060 them shall be holy. H6942

Commentary on Leviticus 6 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 6
The first seven verses of this chapter might fitly have been added to the foregoing chapter, being a continuation of the law of the trespass-offering, and the putting of other cases in which it was to be offered; and with this end the instructions God gave concerning the several kinds of sacrifices that should be offered: and then at v. 8 (which in the original begins a new section of the law) he comes to appoint the several rites and ceremonies concerning these sacrifices which had not been mentioned before.
Lev 6:1-7
This is the latter part of the law of the trespass-offering: the former part, which concerned trespasses about holy things, we had in the close of the foregoing chapter; this concerns trespasses in common things. Observe here,
Lev 6:8-13
Hitherto we have had the instructions which Moses was directed to give to the people concerning the sacrifices; but here begin the instructions he was to give to the priests; he must command Aaron and his sons, v. 9. The priests were rulers in the house of God, but these rulers must be ruled; and those that had the command of others must themselves be commanded. Let ministers remember that not only commissions, but commands, were given to Aaron and his sons, who must be in subjection to them.
In these verses we have the law of the burnt-offering, as far as it was the peculiar care of the priests. The daily sacrifice of a lamb, which was offered morning and evening for the whole congregation, is here chiefly referred to.
Lev 6:14-23
The meat-offering was either that which was offered by the people or that by the priests at their consecration. Now,
Lev 6:24-30
We have here so much of the law of the sin-offering as did peculiarly concern the priests that offered it. As,
