Leviticus 6:14
"Fire shall be kept burning on the altar continually; it shall not go out."
Key Reflection
In the first-century Jewish context, the instruction to keep fire burning continuously on the altar was a symbol of God's ever-present presence and His ongoing demand for sacrifice and worship. This perpetual flame served as a visible reminder to the people that their offerings needed to be made with sincerity and regularity, reflecting the constant need for atonement and God’s enduring relationship with Israel.
