At Leviticus chapter 6 we are further instructed on and of the burnt offering. Starting at verse 9 we read: “This is the Law (mental precepts) of the burnt offering: the burnt offering shall be on the altar hearth (“pot”; working off, chaffing; #254) all night until morning, and the fire (conviction) of the altar shall be kept burning on it.”

Conscious recognition and meditation on the commanded mental requirements of course. “And the priest (and remember loved one, you are the “royal priest”, the “judge of thoughts”) shall put on his linen (“divide, solitary”; precise mental focus; #906) garment (mind covering) and take up the ashes (mental refuse) of the burnt offering the fire (judgment) has consumed on the altar, putting them [the refuse] beside the altar. Then he shall take off his garments (holy minded focus) and put on his other garments (mindset of removal), and carry the ashes outside the camp (temporary dwelling), to a clean (purifying) place.” (verses 10&11) When mental sacrifices are offered specific states of mind are warranted. And so it is with that which remains from the slaughter, the revelation of things that must be removed from consciousness, bringing greater mental purity with each act of obedience. “The fire (conviction) on the altar (bowed mind) shall be kept burning on it. It [conviction and proper judgment] shall not be put out. The priest (thoughts judging perfectly) shall burn wood (“firmness”; steadfast thoughts; #6086) on it every morning, and lay (consciously offer) the burnt offering in order (mental clarity) upon it; and he shall burn on it the fat (abundance) of the peace offerings (more to come on this offering). The fire must be kept burning on the altar continually. It [sound conviction and judgment] shall not go out.” (vs.12&13)

Now that we have the better mental grasp of the burnt offering we need to p&rceive the specifics of the commanded offering in regards to the “seven days” required for the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Though regarded at Leviticus 23:8, we go to Numbers 28:17-31 to get our direction. Below is a list of what is commanded as the burnt offering for each of the seven days:

“You shall provide an offering made by fire (mental conviction 29.) leading to sound judgment and mental perfection) to Yahweh, as a burnt (consciously ascending) offering, or two (recognition of former divisions within) young bulls (internal division and the thoughts that perpetrate such) and a ram (recognition of thoughts leading to reliance of one’s own mental strength), a total of seven (unto completion) lambs (recognition of prideful and arrogant thoughts) of the first (the beginning season in the mind) year. Be sure they are without blemish (mentally stained by the self will)” (vs.19) For the seven days of Unleavened (sinless) bread (mental consumption) the above mental attitudes are to be offered up to Yahweh at His Temple within your mind. There is more required for the Feast: “With each bull prepare a grain offering…” (vs.20) And so we noticed that at verse 12 of Leviticus 6, and here at verse 20 of Numbers 28, we are introduced to both the “peace offering” and then the “grain offering”. Because the grain offering is mandated as part and parcel of the burnt offering at Numbers 28:20-21, we start there:

Grain Offering
The Hebrew word for grain is lechem (lekh-em). Its definition, “food, bread”; #3899. Its root is lacham (law- kham), “consume, battle”; #3898.
