Leviticus 6:12

And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings.

And the fire {H784} upon the altar {H4196} shall be burning {H3344} in it; it shall not be put out {H3518}: and the priest {H3548} shall burn {H1197} wood {H6086} on it every morning {H1242}, and lay the burnt offering {H5930} in order {H6186} upon it; and he shall burn {H6999} thereon the fat {H2459} of the peace offerings {H8002}.

In this way, the fire on the altar will be kept burning and not be allowed to go out. Each morning, the cohen is to kindle wood on it, arrange the burnt offering and make the fat of the peace offerings go up in smoke.

The fire on the altar shall be kept burning; it must not be extinguished. Every morning the priest is to add wood to the fire, arrange the burnt offering on it, and burn the fat portions of the peace offerings on it.

And the fire upon the altar shall be kept burning thereon, it shall not go out; and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning: and he shall lay the burnt-offering in order upon it, and shall burn thereon the fat of the peace-offerings.
