Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Leviticus 6:9

It is the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar. — Better, This, the burnt offering, shall he upon the fire on the altar. That is, the continued burnt offering, with which the sacrifices here enumerated begin, is to remain burning upon the altar from the evening until the morning. (Comp. Exodus 29:38; Numbers 28:1).

Shall be burning in it. — Better, shall burn by it. That is, shall be fed and kept up by it. According to the practice which obtained during the second Temple, the fat pieces of the burnt offering began to be burned at midnight, thus feeding the fire till the break of day.
