壇上的火要在其上常常燒着，不可熄滅。祭司要每日早晨在上面燒柴，並要把燔祭擺在壇上，在其上燒平安祭牲的脂油。 ……亞倫的子孫中，接續他為受膏的祭司，要把這素祭獻上，要全燒給耶和華。這是永遠的定例。 利未記 6:12, 22
The fire that is on the altar must never stop burning. Every morning the priest must put wood on it. He must also put on it the gifts and the fat of the friendship offerings. ……The son whom they will anoint to take Aaron’s place must prepare the offering. Leviticus 6:12, 22
