1. Now the Lord called to Moses, and spoke to him from the tabernacle of meeting, saying, | |
2. Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them 'When any one of you brings an offering to the Lord, you shall bring your offering of the livestock--of the herd and of the flock. | |
3. 'If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord. | |
4. Then he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him. | |
5. He shall kill the bull before the Lord; and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of meeting. | |
6. And he shall skin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces. | |
7. The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay the wood in order on the fire. | |
8. Then the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar; | |
9. but he shall wash its entrails and its legs with water. And the priest shall burn all on the altar as a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord. | |
10. 'If his offering is of the flocks--of the sheep or of the goats--as a burnt sacrifice, he shall bring a male without blemish. | |
11. He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the Lord; and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar. | |
12. And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar; | |
13. but he shall wash the entrails and the legs with water. Then the priest shall bring it all and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord. | |
14. 'And if the burnt sacrifice of his offering to the Lord is of birds, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves or young pigeons. | |
15. The priest shall bring it to the altar, wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; its blood shall be drained out at the side of the altar. | |
16. And he shall remove its crop with its feathers and cast it beside the altar on the east side, into the place for ashes. | |
17. Then he shall split it at its wings, but shall not divide it completely; and the priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord. |
