Burnt and Grain Offering Regulations

Date: May. 7, 2016

Passage

Leviticus 6:8-23  (ESV)

Daily Bread

Key Verse: 6:13

Fire shall be kept burning on the altar continually; it shall not go out.

First, the fire must not go out (8-13). These verses give the regulations for the burnt offering. It had to burn all night. Then a properly attired priest took the ashes from the altar, changed clothes, and took the ashes outside the camp to a clean place. The fire for the burnt offering had to keep burning continuously. The constant fire can remind us that God eternally watches over us, Jesus is our eternal intercessor, and we should pray continually.

Second, grain offering regulations (14-23). A memorial portion was given to God by burning it on the altar as an aroma pleasing to the Lord. The rest belonged to the consecrated priests to eat in the holy sanctuary area. It could not contain yeast. It was holy. It was the priest's perpetual share. The priest to be anointed had to bring his own grain offering to the Lord as well. That offering was to be burned completely as the Lord's perpetual share.

Prayer: Lord, you are holy. Thank you for making a way for us sinners to have fellowship and communion with you through the holy blood of our holy Priest, Jesus Christ.

One Word: Keep the fire burning
