Leviticus 6 · Grade 3
The Priests' Jobs
Read the Story
God said that if anyone cheated or lied to his neighbor, he must give back what he took. He had to add a fifth part more. Then he brought a ram as a trespass offering, and the priest made atonement. He was forgiven.
Then God gave the priests rules. The burnt offering stayed on the altar all night until morning. The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it, it shall not go out. Every morning the priest burned wood on it.
The priest wore linen clothes when he removed the ashes. Then he changed clothes and carried the ashes outside the camp. The priests also ate the grain offering and the sin offering in a holy place. These were their portion from God.
