Leviticus 6:11 Summary
In Leviticus 6:11, the priest has to change his clothes before taking the ashes from the altar to a clean place outside the camp. This shows that God wants us to be careful about keeping ourselves and our surroundings clean and holy (1 Corinthians 3:16-17). Just like the priest had to remove the ashes, we need to get rid of the 'ashes' in our lives, like sin and bad habits, to stay close to God. By following God's instructions, we can maintain a clean and holy relationship with Him (2 Corinthians 7:1).
