Leviticus 3:6
"Aaron’s sons shall burn it on the altar on the burnt offering, which is on the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD."
Key Reflection
In Leviticus 3:6, Aaron's sons were instructed to burn the offering on the altar, which was already covered by a burnt offering on wood that was kept burning. This practice emphasized the ongoing nature of the sacrificial system and its importance as an offering made by fire, pleasing to the LORD. The original audience would have understood this in the context of maintaining continuous holiness through perpetual sacrifices, symbolizing their ongoing commitment to God's covenant.
