Commentary:

following instructions
Earlier, the laws relating primarily to the people bringing the sacrifices were given. Now the laws relating to the priest's follow-up are being given (Rashbam).

altar's hearth
(Radak, Sherashim). Mokdah in Hebrew. This is the place where the sacrifices burn (Yoma 45a).

the altar's fires...
(Ramban). Or, 'the fires of the [incense] altar' (Rashi; Yoma 45a).
