Matthew Poole and continuators on Leviticus 6:9

9 Command Aaron and his sons , saying, This is the Law of the burnt-offering : (it is the burnt-offering, because of the burning upon the altar all night, unto the morning , and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it.)

The meaning is the evening-burnt-offering was to be so managed and laid on piece after piece that the fire might be constantly maintained by it. It is to be understood, that the offerings were to be kept burning all the day from morning to night also but he mentions not that, because there was so great a [illegible: 1 word] and such a constant succession of sacrifices in the day time that there needed [illegible: 1 word] Law for seeding and keeping in the fire then, the onely danger was for the night, when other sacrifices were not [illegible: 1+ letters]red, but onely the evening-burnt-offering, which if it had been consumed quickly, as the morning burnt-offering was, there had been danger of the going out of that fire, which they were commanded diligently and constantly to keep in and maintain, here below, ver. 13.
