Study note
Setting — Moses instructs Aaron and his sons to finish the ordained priests' portion of meat and bread at the Tent of Meeting before a seven-day confinement period begins.
The words — The Hebrew תִשְׂרְפוּ (tis.Ro.fu) issues the command "you will burn," directly linked to הַנּוֹתָר (ha.no.Tar, "the remainder") to specify that unconsumed meat and bread must be destroyed by fire.
The thread — This disposal command appears in Exodus 29:34 for ordination offerings, Exodus 12:10 for the Passover meal, and Leviticus 7:17 for sacrifices left until the third day.
Why it lands — The text requires immediate incineration of leftover sacred provisions to prevent ritual impurity or unauthorized handling of consecrated items.
