Don't try to kid me

I doubt it. Call me a skeptic, call me Thomas, but I doubt it.

Command Aaron and his sons, saying,

This is the law of the burnt offering.

The burnt offering shall be on the hearth on the altar all night until the morning,

and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it. 

Fire shall be kept burning on the altar continually; it shall not go out. 

Leviticus 6.9, 13

I’ve raised enough kids to know that it just ain’t so that the fire never went out.

It just didn’t happen.

Aaron had four boys: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

Veronica and I raised 15 kids, ten of them boys,

and sometimes the garbage didn’t get taken out, or the dishes washed, the clothes taken off the line, or—yes—another log put into the wood-burning stove.
