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

And this {is} the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar.

And he shall take of it his handful, of the flour of the meat offering, and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which {is} upon the meat offering, and shall burn {it} upon the altar {for} a sweet savour, {even} the memorial of it, unto the LORD.

And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: with unleavened bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation they shall eat it.

It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it {unto them for} their portion of my offerings made by fire; it {is} most holy, as {is} the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.
