SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:9
Manda a Aarón y a sus hijos diciendo: Esta es la ley del holocausto: (es holocausto, porque se quema sobre el altar toda la noche hasta la mañana, y el fuego del altar ardirá en él:)
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 6:9
Verse 9. This is the law of the burnt-offering] This law properly refers to that burnt-offering which was daily made in what was termed the morning and evening sacrifice; and as he had explained the nature of this burnt-offering in general, with its necessary ceremonies, as far as the persons who brought them were concerned, he now takes up the same in relation to the priests who were to receive them from the hands of the offerer, and present them to the Lord on the altar of burnt-offerings. Because of the burning upon the altar all night] If the burnt-offering were put all upon the fire at once, it could not be burning all night. We may therefore reasonably conclude that the priests sat up by turns the whole night, and fed the fire with portions of this offering till the whole was consumed, which they would take care to lengthen out till the time of the morning sacrifice. The same we may suppose was done with the morning sacrifice; it was also consumed by piecemeal through the whole day, till the time of offering the evening sacrifice. Thus there was a continual offering by fire unto the Lord; and hence in ver. 13 it is said: The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar, it shall never go out. If at any time any extraordinary offerings were to be made, the daily sacrifice was consumed more speedily, in order to make room for such extra offerings. See more on this subject in the note on "ver. 23". The Hebrew doctors teach that no sacrifice was ever offered in the morning before the morning sacrifice; and none, the passover excepted, ever offered in the evening after the evening sacrifice; for all sacrifices were made by day-light. The fat seems to have been chiefly burned in the night season, for the greater light and conveniency of keeping the fire alive, which could not be so easily done in the night as in the day time.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. Command Aaron and his sons , etc.] Who were nominated, selected, and appointed to the office, though not yet consecrated to it and invested with it, (see Leviticus 8:1) saying, this [is] the law of the burnt offering ; of the daily sacrifice, morning and evening: it [is] the burnt offering, because of, [or] for the burning upon the altar all night unto the morning ; as there was nothing offered on the altar of burnt offering after the evening daily sacrifice, nor anything before the morning daily sacrifice, it was the more difficult to keep the fire of the altar burning in the night; wherefore a slow fire was used in the evening sacrifice, and several things remained to be burnt in the night: so Maimonides says, the remainder of the fat of the members were burnt all night until the pillar of the morning (first rays of the rising sun, Editor.): and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it ; not without it, as Aben Ezra observes, but on it; that is, should be ever burning on it, night and day, as it is after declared.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-13 - The daily sacrifice of a lamb is chiefly referred to. The priest mus take care of the fire upon the altar. The first fire upon the alta came from heaven, ch. 9:24; by keeping that up continually, all their sacrifices might be said to be consumed with the fire from heaven, i token of God's acceptance. Thus should the fire of our holy affections the exercise of our faith and love, of prayer and praise, be withou ceasing.
