PORTION COMMENTARY

KEEP THE FIRE BURNING

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:

The altar fire was holy fire ignited by the presence of God. This sacred fire was never to be extinguished. “The fire on the altar is to be kept burning on it. ... [The] fire shall be kept burning continually on the altar; it is not to go out” (Leviticus 6:12–13).

COMMENTARY: The Torah says. The priests used flames from the altar to light the menorah, and they used the coals from the altar to burn the incense on the golden altar. Fire brought from some source other than the altar is referred to as strange fire.

How did they keep the fire burning when transporting the altar?
