Leviticus 6:8-11
Excerpted from: Sanctification and Holiness (Part 4)Can you see it? The fire had its source in God. It was therefore the only fire that was acceptable in use to worship Him. It was the only fire that was acceptable for use in service to Him, to make an offering to Him. We can only give back what He has given to us as an acceptable offering.
Remember that. Remember He told them before in Numbers 16:37 or 38 to just take it out there and scatter it. Now we see a change. It had to go to a clean place. Even the ashes from the fire had to be taken to a clean place.
That is one thing we can get from this. The second thing is that the priest even had to wear special clothing during the service of dumping the ashes, and then the ashes had to be taken to a clean place, not just any old dump. You do not treat even the ashes that come from the fire under God's altar as if they are common. They were not common. The ashes were holy ashes.
